EXCLUSIVE: Lupin and Intouchables star Omar Sy will now co-star opposite Emmy winner Kerry Washington (Scandal, Django) in Lionsgate action-thriller Shadow Force, we can reveal.
Bad Boys For Life scribe and The Grey director Joe Carnahan is newly aboard to direct the feature, which will follow an estranged couple with a bounty on their heads who must go on the run with their son to avoid their former employer, a shadow ops unit that has been sent to kill them.
Screenplay comes from Leon Chills and Carnahan. Producers are Stephen “Dr.” Love through his Made with Love Media company (which has an overall deal with Lionsgate), Kerry Washington and Pilar Savone through Washington’s production company Simpson Street, and Sterling K. Brown (who was previously attached to star) through his Indian Meadows Productions.
Executive producers are Kathy Atkinson, Indian Meadows’ Danielle Reardon and Jennifer Wiley-Stockton. Lionsgate’s Robert Melnik negotiated the deals on behalf of the studio.

Jurassic World actor Sy won France’s Best Actor Cesar Award for his breakout performance in comedy The Intouchables. He currently stars in Netflix’s smash hit Lupin, one of the streamer’s most-watched non-English series, and recently completed filming Father And Soldier, in which he stars, for his Korokoro banner.
Carnahan most recently co-wrote and directed action-thriller Copshop, starring Alexis Louder, and in 2020 he co-wrote the story and screenplay for Bad Boys For Life and co-wrote and directed Hulu’s Boss Level, starring Frank Grillo.
