‘Mace’ tells a harrowing story that revolves around two contrasting police officers. LaBeouf portrays Mace, a veteran officer who is dangerous and corrupt, while Jackson takes on the role of Virgil Woods, a young rookie driven by the belief that he can change the system that breeds officers like Mace from within. Inspired by recent instances of racial injustice on American streets, Woods refuses to be intimidated, pitting his principles against the amoral Mace. As Mace unleashes a gang war to cover up his crimes, Woods risks everything to protect the city from destruction. The lives of those around Mace hang in the balance as he plays a dangerous game, relentlessly attempting to conceal his tracks, regardless of the cost.
Production for ‘Mace,’ produced by Lawrence Steven Meyers, John Evangelides, Randy Dannenberg, and Robert Maclean, under the Meyers Media Group banner, is scheduled to commence later this year in New Jersey. Additional casting for the film is currently underway, with Brendan McDonald and Kirk D’Amico serving as executive producers. Tribune Pictures has also come aboard to co-produce and co-finance the project, adding further support to its realization.
