Kenji Tanigaki to Direct New Action Film The Reckoner Starring Peter Dinklage

Lionsgate with AGBO are signaling a push to scale Tanigaki’s stunt-driven style into a larger theatrical action project.

Overview

  • The Reckoner was announced Wednesday with Kenji Tanigaki attached to direct, Derek Kolstad set to write, and Peter Dinklage signed to star and produce.
  • Lionsgate has closed the deal for the project and AGBO will produce with Anthony and Joe Russo serving as executive producers.
  • Kolstad and Dinklage will produce alongside AGBO executives and under Dinklage’s Estuary Films banner, with additional Lionsgate overseers named.
  • Creative specifics are being held back: the companies have not released plot details, a release date, or a production schedule.
  • The project follows Tanigaki’s breakout The Furious and Kolstad’s John Wick pedigree, a combination that could raise the film’s commercial profile and shape future studio collaborations.
