Farrell is teaming with the Russo Bros.' banner AGBO on Ordained, which is based on an upcoming comic book from publisher Bad Idea. Multiple studios and streamers are said to be in the mix for the project, according to sources. John Wick scribe Derek Kolstad was announced as writing the script last year and will produce, along with Bad Idea's Dinesh Shamdasani and Benjamin Simpson. Farrell will star as Father Roy Craig, a priest who performs last rites on a mob boss who miraculously survives - but not before confessing his crimes to the father. Soon after, Father Roy finds himself targeted by hitmen, corrupt cops and gangsters - all sent by the mob boss who wants to silence him. But Father Roy secretly has a violent past that makes him a more dangerous target than anyone imagines. (Luckily for his adversaries, he does follow the commandant Thou Shall Not Kill.)
