Sasha Calle Boards Jamie Foxx Action Thriller Deadlocked for Amazon MGM

Deadlocked is being promoted as an action film from Amazon MGM Studios. Nikhil Bhat directs the film, and its central premise follows a grieving former Marine serving jury duty when the so-called trial of the century takes a deadly turn, forcing the protagonist back into action.

That basic logline is the current public description; additional plot specifics, supporting cast members, and story beats have not been disclosed. The mix of courtroom drama and action suggests a high-stakes, contained thriller setup, but promotional materials and fuller plot summaries are still forthcoming as production progresses.

The project was announced earlier this month with Jamie Foxx already attached as a lead, and Deadline’s coverage now notes Calle joining him.

The initial announcement established Foxx as a central figure for the film; the latest update confirms the production is assembling additional headline talent. No further information has been provided about Foxx’s character or the dynamic between his role and Calle’s. So far, the only publicly known details are both actors’ involvement, the film’s premise, and its studio backing. Further casting and production details are expected to be revealed in due course.
