The untitled film reunites Matt Damon and John Leguizamo after Daniels were impressed by Leguizamo's performance in The Odyssey, sources said.
- John Leguizamo is in negotiations to join the upcoming, untitled film from Oscar-winning filmmaking duo Daniels, which already features Matt Damon following their recent collaboration on The Odyssey.
- Filmmakers Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert are writing and directing the project, pitched to Damon as "The Breakfast Club meets Inception meets an anime film meets an episode of The John Oliver Show that didn't get aired."
- Additional cast members include Sandra Oh, Sean Kaufman, Michael Gandolfini, and Charles Melton; Leguizamo reportedly secured the role after his The Odyssey performance impressed the directing duo.
- Universal Executive VP of Production Development Sara Scott and Director of Production Development Jacqueline Garell are overseeing the project; filming is expected to start later this year.
- Leguizamo continues his partnership with Universal, having recently shot the upcoming Exorcist movie starring Scarlett Johansson and the actor is also set to appear in Bullet Catch.
