Deadline reports that Lin is both directing and producing The Stand Off through his Perfect Storm Entertainment banner, with Tobey Maguire among the film’s co-producers.
It appears as though director Justin Lin is joining forces with Netflix for his next filmmaking project.
The project is based on a screenplay written by Mark Heyman, the writer whose previous credits include the Oscar-winning psycho-thriller Black Swan and critically-acclaimed indie drama The Skeleton Twins, among other films.
For related reasons, Netflix has recruited producer Scott Stuber (Patriots Day) to oversee its film production division, moving forward.
