Deadline is reporting that filmmaker Deon Taylor is set to direct Sony Screen Gems’ bodycam cop thriller Exposure.
Exposure follows a rookie Detroit African-American female cop who stumbles upon corrupt officers who are murdering a drug dealer, an incident captured by her body cam. They pursue her through the night in an attempt to destroy the footage, but to make matters worse, they’ve tipped off a criminal gang that she’s responsible for the dealer’s death.
Based on Peter A. Dowling’s spec, Sean Sorensen is producing Exposure in association with Taylor’s production company Hidden Empire Film Group, in which he is partners with Roxanne Avent and Robert F. Smith.
Screen Gems will release Taylor’s latest movie, the psychological thriller The Intruder stars Dennis Quaid, Meaghan Good, and Michael Ealy. He begins shooting the noir thriller Fatale next month with Hilary Swank attached to star. Taylor also wrapped, under his new Dark Circus banner, the Meet the Blacks sequel The House Next Door starring Mike Epps, Katt Williams, Rick Ross, Danny Trejo, Bresha Webb, Zulay Henao, Andrew Bachelor (aka ‘King Batch’), and comedians Lil Duval, Michael Blackson and Tyrin Turner. Prior to The Intruder, Taylor produced, the Jamie Foxx-directed comedy feature All-Star Weekend, which stars Foxx (who also produces), Robert Downey Jr., Gerard Butler, Eva Longoria, Jeremy Piven, and Jessica Szohr.
Lionsgate/Codeblack released Taylor’s thriller Traffik last spring which starred Paula Patton, Omar Epps, William Fichtner and Roselyn Sanchez.
