Django Unchained stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Jamie Foxx are set to reunite for a film project called Mean Business on North Ganson Street.
The film is based on an unpublished novel by Craig Zahler, and it's a crime story follows DiCaprio's character, described as a hardened detective who, "after being told by a man that his beautiful wife is missing, tells him she is a hooker who obviously made off with his money. After the man commits a desperate tragic act right in the squad room, the disgraced detective is sent to a hellhole rust belt town called Victory, Missouri, where violent crime is skyrocketing. Partnered with an equally bad-assed detective who was demoted for publicly brutalizing a suspect (Foxx), the new partners get to do some real work. Police officers start showing up dead execution-style, and the cops think it might be open season on Victory’s police department."
I'm always up for a good crime thriller, and this one has the makings of a great one, especially with the talent involved so far. It was fun watching these two together in Django Unchained, and I'm looking forward to seeing them together again up on the big screen. DiCaprio is also producing the film, which will also be written by Zahler.
