16 Jun
Summary
- Bradley Cooper to star in Sean Penn's next directorial project.
- Film centers on a police officer present during Jan. 6 events.
- Production is slated to commence in mid-2027.

Bradley Cooper is in discussions to star in Sean Penn's latest directorial venture, slated for production by mid-2027. Warner Bros. is reportedly in talks to distribute the film. The movie centers on the life of a police officer who was present during the January 6th events, though it is characterized as an unexpected story about friendship rather than a direct account of the day.
Sean Penn will serve as writer, director, and producer for this project. This marks Penn's first narrative directorial effort since "Flag Day" in 2021. Cooper's involvement follows his recent directorial work on "Is This Thing On?" and his upcoming role in an "Ocean's Eleven" prequel. Filming for Penn's project is delayed to accommodate Cooper's schedule.
