Shawn Simmons (Wayne) is set to write 20th Century Studios’ untitled high-speed thriller, which has Deadpool and Zombieland writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. The Disney-owned studio acquired the project in pre-emptive purchase.
According to Deadline, the project is an irreverent high-speed thriller that follows a former teenage getaway driver who is dragged back into her unsavory past when a previous employer offers her the chance to save the life of her chronically unreliable ex-boyfriend.
