The Emmy-winning actor Jason Bateman has discovered his new project, which puts him back in front of the camera. The Ozark star will helm The Pinkerton, “a supernatural retribution western hybrid,” according to Deadline. The movie was initially purchased by Warner Bros. and J.J. Abrams’s production company Bad Robot two years ago. It is the first picture produced by the two businesses together following the conclusion of a significant agreement with producer J.J. Abrams. Additionally producing are Bateman, Michael Costigan, and Hannah Minghella. There isn’t a cast associated right now.

The Pinkerton is based on a genuine private security and detective organization from the 1850s. Allan Pinkerton, a Scottish immigrant, and former deputy sheriff in Illinois founded the Pinkerton National Detective Agency in the United States. The agency’s initial primary area of concern was railway thefts. However, Pinkerton gained popularity after he asserted that he had stopped an assassination attempt on president-elect Abraham Lincoln in the early 1860s. As a result, Pinkerton agents protected Lincoln personally throughout the Civil War.

It’s not the first time the CIA has been shown in a movie. A dramatized retelling of the historical events debuted on Canadian television in 2014 thanks to Kevin Abrams and Adam Moore. The program only ran for one 22-episode season, indicating its brief lifespan. It followed a father-and-son team that worked alongside Kate Warne, the first female investigator in America. Additionally announced in 2021, a Warne-focused feature hasn’t seen any new developments.

Despite being best renowned for his acting work, Bateman has also directed cinema and television. He made his feature film directing debut in 2013 with the ominous comedy Bad Words. A few years later, when he oversaw the adaptation of The Family Fang, he followed the movie. He played the lead role in both films. Arrested Development, The Outsiders, and Ozark are some of the TV programs that Bateman has directed and for which he was awarded a directing Emmy in 2019. He will currently serve as the series director for Black Rabbit.

In terms of acting, Bateman is best known for his lauded performance in Netflix’s Ozark, which ended its run in mid-2022. The Primetime Emmys were among the accolades for which the series was nominated. With roles that frequently rely on sarcasm and dry humor, Bateman has established himself as a household figure in the comedy genre over the course of his career. Over the years, he has acted in a number of well-known films and television shows, such as Arrested Development, Horrible Bosses, Game Night, Juno, and many others.
