Row K Entertainment has acquired U.S. distribution rights to “Mister,” an upcoming action-comedy with Walton Goggins and Chloë Grace Moretz.
The film marks the directorial debut of legendary second unit and action director Wade Eastwood, whose credits include “Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning” and “Jumanji: The Next Level.” It was written by Nicki Cortese and follows a man (Goggins) who wakes up in a strange house covered in blood and comes to realize his true identity while fighting off contract killers from his past, which includes everyone from his exes to his best friend. To get out, he teams up with his estranged daughter (Moretz), who has also ended up in the family business. In order to survive, they will need to repair their fractured relationship.
The film was first announced at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. Principal photography is currently underway in Madrid and the Canary Islands. “Mister” is slated for a wide theatrical release in 2027.
Goggins recently starred in the third season of “The White Lotus” and on Amazon’s hit “Fallout.” He also appeared in “Justified” and “The Hateful Eight.” Moretz is best known for her work in the “Kick-Ass” films and has also starred in “Hugo,” “Greta” and “The Equalizer.”
Launched in 2025, Row K has made several acquisitions, including “Cliffhanger,” directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and starring Pierce Brosnan and Lily James; and “Charlie Harper,” directed by Tom Dean and Mac Eldridge and starring Nick Robinson and Emilia Jones. In January, it released Gus Van Sant’s “Dead Man’s Wire” starring Bill Skarsgård, Dacre Montgomery, Colman Domingo and Al Pacino.
“’Mister’ is a sharp, high-concept action-comedy that immediately stood out to us,” said Row K Co-Chairmen Christopher Woodrow and Raj Singh. “Wade Eastwood brings decades of world-class action experience to his directorial debut, and Walton Goggins will deliver a performance that is as unpredictable as it is compelling. This film exemplifies the kind of star-driven, big-screen entertainment we’re building Row K around, and it’s a powerful addition to our growing slate.”
Cortese and Wayne Marc Godfrey will produce and finance for Bright White Light, alongside Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, producing for Thunder Road. Goggins is also producing. Henry Braham is attached as cinematographer, and Nigel Phelps as production designer. Black Bear is selling international rights to the film, and CAA negotiated the deal with Row K. Executive producers include Sophie Meyer, Will Flynn, Chase Veragari, and Ibrahim Mohammed.
Goggins is represented by CAA and Darris Hatch Management. Moretz is represented by CAA and Sloane, Offer, Weber & Dern. Row K, Bright White Light, and Thunder Road are repped by CAA.
