*Filmmaker Antoine Fuqua has secured his next project.
The director has signed on to direct “The Street,” which “Goodfellas” writer Nicholas Pileggi is penning for Tooley Entertainment, eOne and Pressman Films, reports Deadline.
The storyline has yet to be disclosed, but the film is described as a thriller set against the backdrops of New York and Shanghai.
The deal comes as Sony prepares for the July 20 release of Fuqua’s “The Equalizer 2,” the first sequel for the filmmaker and his star Denzel Washington.
Fuqua also serves as an executive producer on Fox’s “The Resident,” which was recently renewed for a second season. Additionally, he’s directing — and exec producing with LeBron James — an untitled HBO Entertainment multi-part documentary film about the life and career of Muhammad Ali.
On the big screen, Fuqua also recently came back aboard “Scarface” at Universal.
