Samuel L Jackson, best known for his iconic role in Pulp Fictionwill lead an all-star cast in the upcoming action-comedy film The Honest Liar. Joining Jackson are Golden Globe nominee Edgar Ramirez (Emilia Perez) and Academy Award nominee Andra Day (The United States vs Billie Holiday).
The Cooler fame Wayne Kramer is the writer and director of the film, whose plot follows Jackson’s seasoned actor character who trains inexperienced undercover cops in the art of deception. Veteran producer Dan Grodnik of the recent Pierce Brosnan starrer Fast Charlie is attached to the film. Grodnik is producing it with Jeffrey Reisner under their Golden Eagle Movie Studios outfit.
Principal photography on The Honest Liar is scheduled to commence in early 2025.
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.”
Speaking about the film, Grodnik stated, “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.”
