From Deadline
We can tell you first that Lionsgate has acquired Ride or Die, a romantic buddy action-comedy with Marlon Wayans and Keke Palmer attached to star.
The feature project centers on robbery detective Martin Banks (Wayans), a consummate professional, and narcotics detective and unapologetic butt-kicker Tami Moore (Palmer). Sparks and bullets fly when these opposites are partnered to track down a billion-dollar cache of deadly opioids stolen from the vault of a multinational pharmaceutical company that threaten to flood the streets of Chicago.
Wayans describes the film, which is being billed as the first romantic buddy-cop action comedy, as When Harry Met Sally with guns.
Wayans wrote the screenplay with Rick Alvarez. Pic will be produced by Wayans and Alvarez through their company, Ugly Baby and by Neal H. Moritz and Toby Ascher, through Moritz’s Original Film. Keke Palmer and her mother, Sharon Palmer, are also in talks to EP.
Scott O’Brien is overseeing the project for Lionsgate. Robert Melnik negotiated the deals for the studio.
