Warner Bros. is working on a ‘Training Day‘ prequel movie.
Nearly two decades after the Denzel Washington ‘Training Day’ movie premiered, the Academy Award-winning production is getting the prequel treatment. While there was a shortly lasted 2017 TV series that stared Justin Cornwell and Bill Paxton, Hollywood is ramping up production on a prequel movie.
According to Collider, Warner Bros. hired screenwriter Nick Yarborough to write the ‘Training Day’ prequel, which will center around Denzel Washington’s character Alonzo Harris nearly 10 years before what happens in the first movie. The movie will be set in the early ’90s, which is key to the movie’s storyline as it will be set right before the 1992 Los Angeles riots following the Rodney King verdict. However, it remains to be seen if that will be a key storyline or a simple backdrop in the movie’s plot.
Collider also reports that no major hirings have been made on the project. In fact, Neither Denzel Washington or Ethan Hawke are attached to the project. Not even Antoine Fuqua, who directed the movie, is attached to the production.
