EXCLUSIVE: ‘The Accountant’ Duo Gavin O’Connor And Bill Dubuque Reunite For A New Film At Apple Studios

Director Gavin O’Connor and screenwriter Bill Dubuque, the creative team behind The Accountant, are teaming up once again for a new Apple Studios feature operating under the working title Bannister, sources tell Nexus Point News. O’Connor is set to take the helm, while Dubuque will pen the screenplay, marking another collaboration between the pair following their successful partnership on the action-thriller franchise.

The film follows a fiercely independent teenager with natural speed and no formal training, who fabricates his records to enter a top high school track program. Homeless and operating under the radar, he navigates authority issues and a past marked by instability while attempting to prove he’s the fastest runner. Having never competed on a team, the structure and scrutiny of organized athletics become an unexpected test of his talent and his ability to survive without being exposed.

Casting is currently underway to find the film’s lead, described as a 17-year-old teenager, with production expected to begin in March 2026 in Canada.

Gavin O’Connor’s credits include directing The Accountant franchise, as well as earlier features such as No Way Back, Warrior, and The Way Back. O’Connor is repped by WME.

Bill Dubuque is best known for penning The Accountant films. Dubuque has also worked on the critically acclaimed series Ozark. Dubuque is repped by CAA.
