Moonlight actor Ashton Sanders is in negotiations to join Denzel Washington and Colin Farrell in Dan Gilroy’s legal thriller ‘Inner City.’
Gilroy is directing from his own screenplay. Sony will distribute the film, which is being co-financed by Cross Creek, Lone Star Capital and Charles King’s Macro. Jennifer Fox is producing with Todd Black of Escape Artists and Brian Oliver of Cross Creek.
The legal thriller centers on an awkward, reclusive lawyer, to be played by Washington, who has worked as a legal researcher in Los Angeles for decades. When his mentor passes away, he is recruited by a prestigious and more cutthroat law firm where he stumbles upon a case that changes his entire life.
Farrell will play the slick, money-focused lawyer who recruits the researcher to his firm.
Sanders would play an impressionable young lawyer fresh out of grad school who helps Washington with cases.
Sanders played Chiron in the second act of Barry Jenkins’ Moonlight, which won Best Picture at the 89th Academy Awards on Sunday night. He previously appeared in Straight Outta Compton and is currently filming Rupert Wyatt’s sci-fi thriller Captive State with Vera Farmiga and John Goodman.
