Denzel Washington and Antoine Fuqua have the best onscreen director-actor relationship that makes their films exceptionally great.
The duo is back again as Fuqua will be directing the epic drama based on a screenplay written by John Logan, with Denzel as a producer. It is not stated if Denzel will star in this film or what role he will play, but knowing the two, they always find a way to make their cinematic mark even after the film credits have rolled, leaving the audience wanting more.
Washington and Fuqua have worked on films including 2001’s Training Day, 2014’s The Equalizer, and 2018’s The Equalizer 2. The duo also worked together on the third edition of the Equalizer franchise in 2023.
Throughout history, Hannibal is known as the greatest commander in the military. This movie centers around the crucial armed conflict against the Roman Republic that occurred during the Second Punic War between Rome and Carthage.
Fuqua and Washington go way back, as far back as Fuqua’s directorial debut with his hit feature in 1988 called
“The Replacement Killers.”
Hannibal will serve as the first project as part of Fuqua’s production company, Hill District Media’s, first-look partnership with Netflix.
Also producing Hannibal are Fuqua, Erik Olsen, and Adam Goldworm, while Jeremy Lott and Frank Moll will executive produce.
