The plan is for every cool actor to get their own John Wick, and up next it’s Kiefer Sutherland’s chance to get some bloody revenge. Sutherland is in “advanced negotiations” to star in the revenge-driven action-thriller House of Reckoning, Deadline reports this afternoon.
The project comes courtesy of Thunder Road Films, the John Wick production company.
Deadline reports, “Thunder Road is teaming with fellow producers Midnight Express and Southpaw on the project which will be directed by Vaughn Stein (Terminal).”
Here’s the synopsis…
“When a retired lawman (Kiefer Sutherland) returns to his dying hometown to investigate his brother’s mysterious death, he uncovers a brutal criminal empire led by a charismatic psychopath who rules through fear and corruption. As he digs deeper into a web of drug and human trafficking, his pursuit of truth ignites a violent war for justice—pitting one man’s code against an entire town. Hour of Reckoning is a gritty, high-octane revenge thriller that turns one man’s hunt for the truth into a scorched-earth war against corruption.”
“We’re thrilled to partner with Vaughn and Kiefer on a film that delivers both relentless action and emotional weight,” said Matthew Shreder of Concourse Media. “Hour of Reckoning is the kind of elevated thriller that combines intensity, scope, and heart — the perfect match for Kiefer’s commanding screen presence and Vaughn’s sharp, cinematic storytelling.”
Director Vaughn Stein adds: “Hour of Reckoning is a brutal and deeply human story — a modern western about justice, guilt, and redemption. It’s about a man standing alone against decay and violence, and Kiefer brings the weight and soul that makes it real.”
Chuck Hustmyre is writing the screenplay for House of Reckoning.
