Exclusive: We’ve learned that Stx is developing Fast and Loose with 87North, the production label of Hobbs & Shaw director David Leitch and Ep Kelly McCormick.
The project, written by Jon and Erich Hoeber, follows a man who wakes up in Tijuana after being left for dead with absolutely no memory. As he follows a string of clues to uncover his identity, he discovers that he’s been living two different lives: one, as a super-successful Crime Kingpin, surrounded by beautiful women, expensive toys and a lavish lifestyle, and the other as an undercover CIA agent, but with a puny salary, no family or home life whatsoever and zero trappings of success. The problem is, he can’t remember which of these two personas is his true identity. Annie Marter (Transcendence) of 87North will executive produce. Drew Simon, Kevin Sauer and Sam Brown are overseeing the development for Stx.
