Fuqua gives his Consent

Antoine Fuqua, better known for his directorial work in features such as Training Day and Brooklyn’s Finest, is signing up to direct Consent to Kill. The feature is based off of a novel of the same name, written up by Vince Flynn. In Flynn’s story, Rapp battled a vengeful Saudi billionaire, an ex – East German Stasi spy and a husband-and-wife team of assassins — all while dealing with a knee injury (Variety).

Producing is Lorenzo di Bonaventura along with Nick Wechsler with Jonathan Lemkin penning the script. Lemkin’s previous written works include Lethal Weapon 4 and Red Planet. Fuqua is keeping himself busy, currently in the midst of pre-production of the upcoming biopic entitled Pablo Escobar.
