In the film, a former special forces commando is tapped by the DEA to lead a black op strike team against CIA-protected drug dealers. The project reunites Sklenar and Sheridan following their work on
1923, a Western drama for Paramount+ that’s part of the latter’s
Yellowstone universe. Also a veteran of that series is cinematographer
Ben Richardson, who will make his feature directorial debut on
F.A.S.T.
Warner Bros. commissioned Sheridan to pen the script prior to his current overall deal with Paramount, with the latter granting Taylor’s request to render services on the movie, within Paramount’s exclusive window. The film will be produced by David Heyman and Jeffrey Clifford of Heyday Films, with Sheridan and Jenny Wood of Bosque Ranch Productions in negotiations to produce. Warner Bros. Pictures President of Production Jesse Ehrman and EVP of Production Kevin McCormick are overseeing the project, which will be released in theaters on April 23, 2027
