After acquiring the rights to the Sterling K. Brown (This is Us) and Kerry Washington (Little Fires Everywhere)-starring actioner last fall, Lionsgate has tapped Victoria Mahoney (Lovecraft Country) to direct Shadow Force, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
“We are absolutely thrilled to be working with Victoria Mahoney,” Washington and Brown said in a statement.
“Victoria is one of the most impressive and in-demand directors working today,” Erin Westerman, President of Production for Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, said in a statement.
Further details about the film’s plot are under wraps with different studios previously bidding for the film’s theatrical rights, with Lionsgate becoming the winning bidder.
