Crime thriller The Little Things brings together three Academy Award winners in Denzel Washington, Rami Malek and Jared Leto and could at one time could have been directed by another one, Steven Spielberg.
The Little Things follows Oscar winner Denzel Washington as Deke Craven, a burned-out deputy sheriff with an eye for detail who teams up with Baxter, a crack Los Angeles detective, played by Rami Malek, to reel in a wily serial killer.
The Little Things writer John Lee Hancock wrote the initial draft for the movie back in 1993, with the intention for Hollywood icon Steven Spielberg to helm the project.
Had Hancock gotten his way, The Little Things would have ended up with a completely different cast (Rami Malek would only have been about 12 years old) but with Spielberg on directing duties it could well have ended up a crime thriller classic.
