Most people love when their favorite leading man takes on the role of a hero in any given story, whether it's something as fantastical as a superhero or as grounded as anethicalpassionate lawyer. But sometimes, it's even more enjoyable to see that same actor take on the role of a diabolical villain.Denzel Washingtonhas found a couple of his finest performances inTraining DayandAmerican Gangsterby playing the bad guy. NowVulturereports he might go back to crime withSafe House, an original thriller that sees him playing a dangerous criminal who's on the run from a young CIA agent after his"safe house"comes under attack.
WriterDavid Guggenheimpenned the script, which is described as a mix ofCollateralandThree Days of the Condor, and started a bidding war for the project last winter.Deadlinehas a bit more info on it, as they reportSnabba CashdirectorDaniel Espinosawill direct the thriller. The real question now is who they'll get to star opposite the intimidating Washington. Personally, at the risk of making an original script a little less original, I think it would be kind of interesting to see Ethan Hawke take the agent role thus creating a kind of makeshift sequel toTraining Day. Frankly, I'm surprised that studios haven't already thought of that idea with all the brand/name recognition they've been going for. Maybe I shouldn't say anything.Interested?
