ROGUE ONE Director Gareth Edwards Sets New Sci-Fi Project TRUE LOVE Starring John David Washington

Coming off his lead role in Christopher Nolan's Tenet, John David Washington is set to star in mysterious new sci-fi film True Love from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story director Gareth Edwards...

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story director Gareth Edwards has signed on to helm a new, original sci-fi film called True Love for New Regency, with Tenet star John David Washington set to play the lead.

The plot remains mostly shrouded in mystery, and aside from the title, all we have to go on is Deadline's report that it'll be "a near future sci-fi story." Edwards is writing the script, and will also produce alongside Kiri Hart.

Edwards, who also directed the 2014 Godzilla reboot, is said to have been circling quite a few high-profile projects over the past couple of years (there were rumors that he may have had discussions with Marvel Studios at one point), before finally settling on True Love as his next gig.

Washington, meanwhile, recently starred alongside Zendaya in Malcolm and Marie, and has been busy working with the likes of Robert De Niro, Margot Robbie and Christian Bale shooting David O. Russell's Canterbury Glass since late last year.

It's a shame we don't know a little more about this one, but any project from Edwards is always worth keeping an eye on. Stay tuned for updates on True Love as we have 'em.

Kinda sucks that Tony Gilroy is not getting the credit he deserves for how well Rogue One turned out.

John David Washington is criminally charismatic, I just know I'm gonna enjoy him in this no matter the quality of the film.

Good to see Gareth back again, was afraid that he was somewhat blacklisted after Rogue One.

I like Edwards' work and since JDW is picking interesting projects one after the other, this one does have my interest

If it weren’t for nepotism, JDW woild never have had a career, especially the flourishing one he now does. Has the charisma n screen presence of a plank of wood

Am I the only one who thinks John David Washington is the worst part of most good movies he’s in? I just don’t think he has much range or is that charismatic. I’ve loved a lot of movies he’s in like Balkkklansman but thought he was always one of the weaker links.

Maybe I’m being too hard on the guy...
