Sean Penn will direct a Warner Bros. drama about the early life of a cop who was present at the January 6 Capitol riot, with Bradley Cooper eyed to star. Penn wrote the script and will produce via Projected Picture Works, with production targeted for mid-2027. The project is described as an 'unexpected story about friendship,' though the real-life inspiration remains unidentified and the film’s connection to the events is a point of discussion.
