Jared Leto is in early talks to join fellow Oscar winners Denzel Washington and Rami Malek in Warner Bros.’ serial killer thriller The Little Things, Collider has confirmed.

John Lee Hancock (The Highwaymen) will direct from his own screenplay as well as produce alongside Mark Johnson. Production is expected to start this fall once Malek wraps Bond 25.

The story follows Deke (Washington), a burned-out cop up in Kern County who teams with Baxter (Malek), a crack detective from the LA Sheriff’s Department, to catch a serial killer. Deke has a nose for the “little things” that can help solve a case, but he also has a knack for breaking the rules, which poses a problem for Baxter. Meanwhile, Deke has problems of his own, as he’s haunted by a dark secret from his past.
