It may have taken the slow route of almost a decade, but Taylor Sheridan’s action thriller F.A.S.T. is finally on the, um, fast track.

In a deal involving high-level talks between Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount, Sheridan has navigated a feature package that includes Brendon Sklenar, the star of the multi-hyphenate’s hit 1923, and that series’ main director and renowned cinematographer Ben Richardson, to land at Warners.

And how fast is F.A.S.T. moving? Warners has set an April 23, 2027 theatrical release date.

Sklenar, who also starred in last year’s It Ends with Us and the recent suspense movie Drop, will headline the action thriller with Richardson, who worked on The Fault in Our Stars and Beasts of the Southern Wild as Dp, making his feature directorial debut. David Heyman and Jeffrey Clifford of Heyday Films will produce the project with Sheridan and Jenny Wood of Bosque Ranch Productions in negotiations to join them.
