Duke Nicholson ("Us"), William H. Macy ("Fargo"), Tiffany Haddish ("Girls Trip"), Stephen Dorff ("Blade", "True Detective"), Jake Weary ("Oh, Canada") and Julia Fox ("Uncut Gems") are set to star in the action crime thriller "The Deputy", which marks the feature directorial debut of Matt Sukkar. The script is penned by "Narcos" co-creator and co-writer Carlo Bernard based on the novel of the same name by acclaimed writer Victor Gischler ("Gun Monkeys").
Part-time Deputy Toby Sawyer (Nicholson) is jolted awake by Chief Krueger (Macy) and assigned to guard a dead body until the coroner arrives. When the corpse mysteriously vanishes, Toby launches a frantic search and unwittingly discovers decades of wrongdoing…and several cops who have turned a blind eye, including Deputy Billy Banks (Dorff) who pressures Toby to ignore his findings. Only Deputy Amanda Jackson (Haddish) appears trustworthy. Desperate to keep his job, Toby must unravel the town's deep web of corruption before he and his career end up as dead as the missing cadaver.
The film is being produced by David Lipper and Robert A. Daly Jr under their Latigo Films banner ("Freud's Last Session"), Mark Canton ("300"), and Dorothy Canton ("Arthur The King") of Canton Entertainment, and Ryan Winterstern of Applewood Studios ("Land of Bad", "Blood for Dust").
They are joining Hicham Benkirane, who sourced and developed the project, and is producing via his HBK F.C. banner ("Murder City" starring Mike Colter), alongside Brendan Thomas ("The Cat and The Moon") and Sukkar. The film is executive produced by Victor Gischler, Carlo Bernard, Tiffany Haddish, William H. Macy, Daisy Burnham and Highland Film Group.
Highland Film Group is co-financing the action crime thriller and handling worldwide rights, launching sales at the Marché du Film in Cannes. Production is set to start in September in the American South.
