San Andreas director Brad Peyton is attached to helm, with producers Tripp Vinson and Liz Harris also on board. Peyton is also producing with Jeff Fierson through their ASAP Entertainment banner. The film centers on a retired assassin who returns to the game after being diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and needing one last job to provide for her daughter.
