Lionsgate has officially acquired the rights to an action murder mystery movie titled, The Professionals. It hails from John Wick director Chad Stahelski, who’s set to serve as a producer through his 87Eleven Entertainment banner.

John Wick director Chad Stahelski is producing a new action movie being pitched as Clue meets John Wick – and we're here for it. Per The Hollywood Reporter, The Professionals follows a group of contract killers stranded in an English countryside estate when one of them is murdered and the remaining group has to solve the death.

THR reports that Chad Stahelski is producing The Professionals. When I read the title, I initially thought this might be a remake of the 1966 Western starring Burt Lancaster and Lee Marvin, but no. The project is said to be a cross between John Wick and Clue.

Hunter Perot, the son of late business exec and politician Ross Perot, wrote the initial draft of the 'Clue' meets 'John Wick' screenplay, which is now being penned by Madison Turner, a stuntman-turned-scribe who is the son of 'Training Day' stunt performer Tierre Turner.
