Paramount has set a date to head back to 1966. The studio has acquired U.S. rights for the historical crime thriller By Any Means and set a Labor Day weekend release date of Sept. 4, 2026 for the project, which stars Mark Wahlberg and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.
Elegance Bratton directs the feature from a script by Sascha Penn.
“Set against the backdrop of 1966 Mississippi, and loosely based on true events, By Any Means follows a volatile partnership between a hardened mafia hitman and a young Black FBI agent as they are forced into an uneasy alliance to track down those responsible for the killing of civil rights leaders—uncovering a conspiracy that tests the limits of justice, loyalty, and survival,” reads the logline.
