British actor Idris Elba will direct the action comedy "In Laws", produce it and play the lead. According to Filmweb, citing Deadline, filming is due to begin in Spain in March next year.
Plot
Elba will play Carson Hughes, a secret service agent who has been blacklisted. The character is determined to clear his name. To do so, he has to team up with a young agent who sticks rigidly to procedure.
The mismatched pair must stop a dangerous conspiracy. Along the way, they discover they have more in common than they thought. They also have to make it to a wedding they cannot afford to miss.
Who is behind it
The screenplay was written by Jeffrey Greenstein and brothers Eshom and Ian Nelms. It is based on an original story by Adrian Speckhert and Cory Hughes.
It will be Elba's fourth feature as a director. He previously made "Yardie" in 2018 and the thriller "Above the Below". The latter is due in cinemas on 4 December.
The actor also has an as yet untitled Apple film in the works. Wunmi Mosaku and Charlie Cox will star alongside him.
In an official statement, Elba said he wants to make films that make audiences laugh. He added that the buddy comedy is a genre he has always loved, and that he is glad to be able to put his own stamp on it.
What happens next
The source does not give a release date for "In Laws", a distributor or the rest of the cast. It is therefore not known when the film might reach cinemas in the UK or Poland.
