Samuel L. Jackson and Henry Golding are set to lead the cast of psychological sci-fi thriller "Head Games", to be directed by Anthony Mandler from a script by Colin Liddle.

The film will center around Jacob (Golding), a corporate spy who takes on the identity of a chef to infiltrate a private villa belonging to Graham (Jackson) the founder of a groundbreaking neuroprosthetics company. His mission: steal Graham's paradigm-shifting new invention. But nothing is as it seems in the mind-bending thriller.

"I couldn’t be more excited to bring this brilliant script to life," said Mandler. " 'Head Games' is a propulsive story that pushes the boundaries of what we know as reality and what could ultimately become fiction before our eyes. The buildup and ultimate unraveling of these characters is both a metaphor for our culture today as well as a foreshadowing to what’s to come."

Jackson has already starred in two films this year: the Matthew Vaughn spy caper Argylle, and the crime drama Damaged. He has lent his voice to The Garfield Movie, which will be released later this month. Next on the slate for Jackson are the Great Depression-set The Piano Lesson, and the Pierce Brosnan Western Unholy Trinity. He will also star alongside Kevin Hart in the period crime miniseries Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist.
