Deadline is reporting that Screen Gems’ cop thriller Black and Blue has filled out its cast with the addition of Frank Grillo (Captain America: Civil War), Reid Scott (Venom), Beau Knapp (Destroyer) and Tyrese Gibson (The Fate of the Furious).
Black and Blue will see Oscar-nominated actress Naomie Harris (Moonlight) taking on the role of a rookie police officer who witnesses the murder of a drug dealer by corrupt cops, only for them to pin it on her. She then faces a fight for survival, hunted by both the cops and the drug dealers out for revenge.
Deon Taylor (Traffik) is on board to direct the film from a script by Peter A. Dowling (Flightplan), and filming will get underway soon. As yet, there’s no word on a potential release date.
