Angelina Jolie, Doug Liman Reteam for Spy Thriller 'The Initiative'

Angelina Jolie and Doug Liman , who famously worked together on Mr. and Mrs. Smith , are reteaming for another thriller set in the world of spies.

Coming on top of multi-studio competition, Universal is wrapping up the final deal points to land The Initiative , a hot spy package that sees Jolie attached to star, Liman on board to direct and F. Scott Frazier writing the script.

Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum of RK Films will produce. The longstanding banner, which in recent years produced Netflix hit Damsel and Sony’s rom-com smash Anyone But You , had previously worked with Jolie on the big-budget Disney fantasy Maleficent movies.
