Samuel L. Jackson and Henry Golding are pairing up to star in the psychological sci-fi thriller ‘Head Games’.

The story follows a corporate spy who poses as a personal chef to infiltrate the villa of a former founder of a neuroprosthetics firm to steal his seismic-shifting new invention.

Anthony Mandler will direct from a script by Colin Liddle (Penny Dreadful: City of Angels). Range Media’s Brian Kavanaugh-Jones and Fred Berger will produce with Brillstein Entertainment’s Josh Glick and Everlast Pictures’ Adonis Tountas. A Higher Standard’s Jeffrey Greenstein, Range Media Partners’ Casey Durant, Brillstein Entertainment Partners’ Zac Frognowski and Kesh Keswani will serve as executive producers.

I couldn’t be more excited to bring this brilliant script to life,” said Mandler. “‘Head Games’ is a propulsive story that pushes the boundaries of what we know as reality and what could ultimately become fiction before our eyes. 

Golding is currently starring in Guy Ritchie’s ‘Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare’, while Jackson’s upcoming projects include Netflix’s ‘The Piano Lesson’ and Peacock’s ‘Fight Night’.
