EXCLUSIVE: Oscar nominee and screen icon Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction) will star alongside Oscar nominee and Grammy winner Andra Day (The United States Vs Billie Holiday) and Golden Globe nominee Edgar Ramirez (Emilia Perez) in action-comedy, The Honest Liar.

Altitude is introducing the film to buyers at this week’s American Film Market, with CAA Media Finance handling domestic rights.

Written and directed by Wayne Kramer (The Cooler), the film will see Jackson star as an award-winning actor tasked with teaching rookie undercover cops how to act like criminals so they can save their own lives when on the job.

The film will be produced by Hollywood veteran Dan Grodnik (Fast Charlie) and Jeffrey Reisner, through their new outfit Golden Eagle Movie Studios, and executive-produced by Gail Thackray and Tracy Beam. Cameras are due to roll early next year.

The official synopsis reads: “Nick DeFranco is an award-winning actor facing jail time when he falls for an undercover sting. Nick criticizes the undercover police for their terrible “acting’ that he can’t believe he fell for. He knew something was wrong and went for it anyway. Impressed by Nick’s acting ability, the Police Captain offers Nick probation instead of hard time, in return for teaching his team how to act like real dealers. Nick has no choice but to agree. When Nick gets involved with a female rookie, he finds himself playing amateur undercover cop and getting more involved than intended, putting them both in danger of blowing her cover with some dangerous criminals.”

Grodnik said: “Wayne Kramer’s forte is creating original stories around people we care about. The Honest Liar grabbed me from the first page, drew me in emotionally, never took its foot off the gas, and ended on a satisfying high note. Samuel L. Jackson as Nick will make this a must see movie.”

Wayne Kramer is repped by Leah Antonio-Ketcham. Samuel L. Jackson is represented by CAA, Anonymous Content and Jackoway Austen. Edgar Ramirez is represented by CAA, Impression Entertainment, and Hirsch Wallerstein. Andra Day is represented by CAA, Bushkin Entertainment, and The Purple Agency.
