Jake Gyllenhaal To Star in Crime Film COLLISION Based on a Don Winslow Short Story
Jake Gyllenhaal has signed on to star in and produce the upcoming crime thriller "Collision" based on a short story in Don Winslow's upcoming anthology collection "The Final Score". Amazon has bought the rights in a highly competitive bidding war that involved multiple interested parties.

The story follows a devoted husband and father with a great life who makes one terrible mistake that sends him to prison, where he must learn how to survive. When he finally becomes free, he learns that he was protected in prison and is sent on a mission that will change his life forever.

This marks the second Winslow adaptation in the works at Amazon, following "Crime 101", based on another short story, which is written and directed by Bart Layton ("American Animals") and stars Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Halle Berry, Monica Barbaro, Barry Keoghan, Nick Nolte and Jennifer Jason Leigh.

Winslow's crime novel "City on Fire" is also getting a big screen adaptation directed by Matt Ross ("Captain Fantastic") from a script by Justin Kuritzkes ("Challengers") and starring Austin Butler. Meanwhile, Winslow's heist tale "The Final Score", which is the title story from the anthology collection, is expected to be shopped to buyers in July.

Gyllenhaal is also set to star in the sequel "Road House 2", which will be directed by Guy Ritchie, as well as M. Night Shyamalan's "Remain". He can also be seen in Season 2 of "Presumed Innocent". Gyllenhaal and Ritchie will also be working together on the action drama "In the Grey", which also stars Henry Cavill, Eiza Gonzalez and Rosamund Pike.

Mark Ruffalo Joins Chris Hemsworth in Amazon's CRIME 101

Oscar-nominated actor Mark Ruffalo ("Poor Things") is in talks to star in Amazon MGM Studios' upcoming thriller "Crime 101" based on Don Winslow's novella of the same name. Chris Hemsowrth is already on board to star and produce alongside producing partner Ben Grayson.

Plot details are being kept under wraps. The original short story follows high-level jewel thefts that are taking place up and down the Pacific Coast, which police have linked to Colombian cartels. Detective Lou Lubesnick has other ideas, and he zeroes in on one perp, a thief looking for a final score.

The film is written and directed by Bart Layton ("American Animals"). Peter Straughan ("Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy") also contributed to the script.

Producers include Story Factory's Shane Salerno, Working Title's Eric Fellner and Tim Bevan, RAW's Layton and Dimitri Doganis and Derrin Schlesinger. RAW's Joely Fether will executive produce.

Ruffalo is currently filming HBO's limited series "Task" from "Mare Of East Town" creator Brad Ingelsby, and can next be seen in Bong Joon Ho's "Mickey 17" opposite Robert Pattinson and in Cooper Raif's series "Hal & Harper".
