RISING star Will Poulter, most recently seen in Alejandro Inarritu’s “The Revenant,” as well as Jack Reynor and Ben O’Toole, have joined Kathryn Bigelow’s Detroit riots project.

    John Boyega is also attached to the project, which will be set against the backdrop of Detroit’s devastating riots that took place over five summer days in 1967.

    Bigelow is directing the crime drama, her first feature since 2012’s “Zero Dark Thirty.” It is being financed by Annapurna Pictures and has an original script by her frequent collaborator Mark Boal. The ensemble film is eyeing a summer shoot in Detroit and Boston. Bigelow is producing with Boal, Annapurna’s Megan Ellison and Matthew Budman, and Colin Wilson. Greg Shapiro is executive producing.

    Coulter will next be seen in Netflix’s “War Machine.” (SD-Agencies)
