Following the box office success of Lionsgate’s John Wick: Chapter 2, Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment is getting into the assassin game, picking up the script for the action thriller Ruthless.
The project is being dubbed a “female John Wick” and follows “a retired assassin who returns to the game after being diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and needs one last job to provide for her daughter.”
Ruthless has been scripted by John Swetnam (Into the Storm) and has Brad Peyton (San Andreas) attached to direct. Peyton will also produce with Jeff Fierson through their ASAP Entertainment production company.
