Jake Gyllenhaal has signed on to star in and produce the upcoming crime thriller "Collision" based on a short story in Don Winslow's upcoming anthology collection "The Final Score". Amazon has bought the rights in a highly competitive bidding war that involved multiple interested parties.
The story follows a devoted husband and father with a great life who makes one terrible mistake that sends him to prison, where he must learn how to survive. When he finally becomes free, he learns that he was protected in prison and is sent on a mission that will change his life forever.
This marks the second Winslow adaptation in the works at Amazon, following "Crime 101", based on another short story, which is written and directed by Bart Layton ("American Animals") and stars Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Halle Berry, Monica Barbaro, Barry Keoghan, Nick Nolte and Jennifer Jason Leigh.
Winslow's crime novel "City on Fire" is also getting a big screen adaptation directed by Matt Ross ("Captain Fantastic") from a script by Justin Kuritzkes ("Challengers") and starring Austin Butler. Meanwhile, Winslow's heist tale "The Final Score", which is the title story from the anthology collection, is expected to be shopped to buyers in July.
Gyllenhaal is also set to star in the sequel "Road House 2", which will be directed by Guy Ritchie, as well as M. Night Shyamalan's "Remain". He can also be seen in Season 2 of "Presumed Innocent". Gyllenhaal and Ritchie will also be working together on the action drama "In the Grey", which also stars Henry Cavill, Eiza Gonzalez and Rosamund Pike.
