Jackson (Spider-Man: Far From Home), Max Minghella (The Handmaid’s Tale) and Marisol Nichols (Riverdale).
The new film, described as “a Saw experience”, will see Rock portraying a police detective investigating a series of grisly crimes. Jackson will portray his father, with Minghella as his partner and Nichols as his Captain.
