On deck is “Kill Switch,” a new 1950s crime drama which finds the director teaming up with one of his recent collaborators, and featuring another incredible cast.

“Kill Switch” is written by Ed Solomon, who worked with Soderbergh on the experimental murder mystery app/HBO limited series “Mosaic,” one of the more underrated projects from the filmmaker in recent years. In discussions for lead roles are Don Cheadle, Josh Brolin, and Sebastian Stan. John Cena is being eyed for a role, as well. Longtime Soderbergh ally Casey Silver (“Out Of Sight,” Mosaic”) is producing (he also started Mindsight Media with Soderbergh, the company whose “choose your own adventure” technology-powered “Mosaic”).

“Kill Switch” is a crime drama, with elements of home invasion thriller, that is set in Detroit during the mid-‘50s. The film follows a group of criminals that are brought together under mysterious circumstances and have to work together to uncover what’s really going on when their simple job goes completely sideways. “Kill Switch” not only features some great drama and suspense, but there’s also a healthy amount of social commentary, as one of the leads is a Black man trying to deal with life in the pre-Civil Rights setting.
