Ali will star opposite Julia Roberts. Last year, when Netflix scored the hot package, Denzel Washington was in talks for the role that eventually went to Ali.
The suspenseful and provocative novel tells the story of two families, strangers to each other, who are forced together on a long weekend gone terribly wrong. Roberts will play the mother of the family that rents a house and Ali will portray the homeowner. Dealing with issues of parenthood, race and class, the film will explore how our closest bonds are reshaped—and unexpected new ones are forged—in moments of crisis.
A production start date has not been set at this time.
Ali can next be seen in the Apple Studios film "Swan Song", which will premiere on December 17th, just in time to qualify for awards season. He will also star as the titular character in Marvel's "Blade" directed by Bassam Tariq.
