Michael B. Jordan To Star In Action Thriller ‘A Bittersweet Life’

Michael B. Jordan will star in Fox’s “A Bittersweet Life,” an action-thriller remake of the cult classic 2005 Korean film. Jennifer Yuh Nelson will direct.

Jordan will play a mobster whose longtime loyalties to his crime family are challenged when his boss orders him to kill a mistress he’s recently grown close to. The filmmakers see this as a high-concept, character-driven genre film with franchise potential.

Shawn Levy, Dan Levine and Dan Cohen are producing in conjunction with CJ Entertainment. Jason Young will oversee for Fox.
