Angelina Jolie is all set to reunite with her Mr and Mrs Smith director Doug Liman for new spy thriller, The Initiative for Universal Pictures.

The film is penned by F Scott Frazier, who has written action and spy thrillers including XXX: Return of Xander Cage (2017) and Collide (2016).

The Initiative has been likened to the revered crime thriller Training Day (2001), but “set in the world of spycraft”. Jolie will portray an unruly spy named Bright, who will mentor inexperienced newcomer Charlie. The film will take a dark turn as Charlie will question Bright’s intentions and sanity.
