Filmmaker Adam McKay has roped in Hollywood stars Robert Pattinson and Robert Downey Jr for his next feature film, titled “Average Height, Average Build”.
Oscar winner Forest Whitaker, actors Amy Adams and Danielle Deadwyler will also star in the project, being described as “part serial killer thriller, part comedy”, according to entertainment news outlet Deadline.
McKay, who previously directed movies such as “The Big Short”, “Vice” and “Don’t Look Up”, has also penned the script for the new film.
Pattinson will essay the role of a serial killer who enlists a lobbyist (Adams) to change laws that will allow him to get away with murder more easily.
Downey Jr will play a retired cop who won’t give up on the murders, and the killer tries to prevent him from dogging his trail now that he’s hung up his gun.
