Lionsgate has picked up the rights for an English-language adaptation of the Mads Mikkelsen-led Danish action/dark comedy “Riders of Justice”.
The original followed a recently-deployed soldier who returns home to care for his teenage daughter after his wife is killed in a tragic train accident.
When a team of statistics experts claim foul play, the soldier embarks on a revenge-fueled mission, along with this eclectic group, to find those responsible.
Original director Anders Thomas Jensen and Nikolaj Arcel, who co-wrote the 2020 film, will write the English-language version while “Free Guy” trio Shawn Levy, Dan Levine and Dan Cohen will produce.
