A $25M production is being shot in Chicago this summer, where a relentless detective and an infamous contract killer engage in a deadly game of cat and mouse. A24<\/a> and Quare Peg are working together to produce. Alejandro De Leon will be producing as well. Josh Bachove holds the position of executive producer.<\/p>\n<\/ins>\n

During this summer, she is going to David Leitch for “How to Rob a Bank<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

Nishijima starred in the Academy Award-winning 2021 Japanese feature film, “Drive My Car<\/strong>.” Hidetoshi\u2019s<\/b>\u00a0impressive career in Japan has stretched from an epic production such as\u00a0\u201cShin Ultraman<\/strong>\u201d\u00a0to small indie from Takeshi Kitano such as\u00a0\u201cDolls<\/strong>.\u201d Hidetoshi made history in 2017 by modeling for Giorgio Armani’s Made-to-Measure collection, becoming the first Japanese man to do so.<\/p>\n
