What's the story
Priyanka Chopra will be seen next in an action-adventure extravaganza called Ending Things opposite Marvel star Anthony Mackie. Now, a latest report suggests the project has been bagged by Amazon Studios. Directed by Kevin Sullivan, the film is set around an assassin (Chopra) who wants to quit the profession and also end things with her "partner in crime," played by Mackie.
Context
Why does this story matter?
The project was announced in early February, much to the glee of fans. While Chopra has perfectly essayed multiple action roles throughout her career, in Bollywood or in the West, it'll be interesting to see her portray a hit-woman onscreen. Her chemistry with Mackie, who enjoys wide popularity for his stint in the MCU, is also something to look forward to.
Report
Script is said to be like 'True Lies'
Amazon Studios has bought Sullivan's speculative script, reported Deadline. The script is said to be on the lines of hit film True Lies (1994), where Arnold Schwarzenegger played a slick government agent who pretends to live as a mild-mannered computer salesman. When he finds out his wife is maybe having an affair, he must juggle high-danger terrorists and his equation with his wife together.
