Ed Harris and Keke Palmer ("Akeelah and the Bee") are in negotiations to join the Samuel L. Jackson-led, Renny Harlin-directed "Cleaner" for Millennium Films.
The crime thriller centers on a man who specializes in cleaning up crime scenes and is drawn into a mystery when he cleans up the evidence at a murder before the killing is reported.
Harris will play Jackson's former partner, a police detective drawn into the mystery. Palmer will play Jackson's daughter.
Matthew Aldrich penned the screenplay. The film is set to begin shooting at the end of next month in Shreveport, Louisiana.
