According toDeadline, Amazon Studios has officially landed rights toEnding Things, a spec script from writerKevin Sullivan. The film is currently being described as a romantic thriller in the vein ofTrue Lies.Anthony MackieandPriyanka Chopra Jonassigned onto the project in leading roles earlier this year. The upcoming film was a hot spec script that had many potential buyers in competition for its rights. Mackie will serve as a producer on the project through his Make It With Gravy Productions banner and Chopra Jonas is also an executive producer.Jeremy Stein, Jason Spear, and Lit Entertainment are all currently on board to produce.
The upcoming film seems to be a quirky action romance that sounds reminiscent ofMr. and Mrs. SmithstarringBrad PittandAngelina Jolie. The female lead, presumably portrayed by Chopra Jonas, is an assassin who decides she’s had enough of the business and wants out. She tells her partner in the business that she’s quitting, but they are also romantically involved, so she decides to break that off as well. She soon has second thoughts about breaking off their personal relationship but still does not want to continue working as an assassin. During one last gig together, the duo’s relationship will be tested in more ways than they could have ever imagined. It seems more than likely that the business partner will be played by Mackie.

A huge Bollywood actress since the 2000s, Chopra Jonas started a transition to Hollywood projects within the past five to ten years.
