The two men have already worked together on Mo Better Blues, Malcolm X and He Got Game. Each project was critically acclaimed.
The director talked about this next project on his website BlackFilm.com: "It’s called Inside Man, and we start shooting it shortly after he finishes his run on Broadway. It’s something different for Denzel and me. This is our fourth time working together, and I’m looking forward to working with him again."
Filming for Inside Man begins in June, and the story follows a police officer investigating a bank robbery.
