Taylor Sheridan’s 'F.A.S.T.' Aims for 2027 Gunfire — Will the 'Yellowstone' Creator Go Darker Than Ever?
A long-shelved script reloads for a ruthless 2027 showdown.
News from Warner Bros. caught my attention this week: F.A.S.T., a new action thriller written by Taylor Sheridan, is finally shifting into gear for an April 2027 release.
Brandon Sklenar leads the cast, now joined by LaKeith Stanfield, Jason Clarke, Sam Claflin and Trevante Rhodes. Cameras start rolling this August. The plot? A fallen ex–special forces commando is pulled into a covert DEA mission against drug dealers shielded by the CIA.
Power Struggle in the Shadows
Sheridan’s love for morally grey battlegrounds is well known, but here the crossfire is inside the system itself. Director Ben Richardson — his trusted 1923 collaborator — leads a team backed by heavyweight producers David Heyman and Jeffrey Clifford.
With that cast, it’s hard not to expect fireworks. Hopefully, he won’t fall into the trap of self-quotation this time.
From Shelf to Screen
Written in the mid-2010s, the script has waited years for its shot. And now, with DEA versus CIA tensions on Main Street, F.A.S.T. might just be the Sheridan film we didn’t know we needed.
Best known for the Yellowstone empire, Sheridan’s leap to a big-budget film with a long wait feels like a gamble — it could broaden his reach or blunt his edge.
