Content Media and producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura have announced that Common (Suicide Squad, John Wick: Chapter 2) has signed on to star in the revenge thriller Quick Draw, which is being written and directed by Harris Goldberg (Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, Without a Paddle).
“Harris has such an incredible vision for this film that this collaboration is particularly exciting for us,” said di Bonaventura, whose credits include the likes of Transformers and G.I. Joe. “The narrative he creates is incredibly rich and while intense action defines this movie, the story is also very much character driven. I’m very excited to work with Common, as well as our partners from Content Media, who really comprehend the global potential for the film.”

We could not be more excited to bring this dynamic project to our friends and clients around the world.”
Production on Quick Draw is slated to get underway in the summer.
