The Big Bang, a new-noir detective story, will star Antonio Banderas with direction by Tony Krantz.

The movie is based on a script by Jendresen (“Band of Brothers”).

Shooting begins in Spokane, Washington this September.

According to Variety, the story follows Banderas as an L.A. private detective who’s hired to find a missing stripper. The trail leads to the New Mexico desert, where the private eye finds a trail of bodies and contends with a brutal Russian boxer, three LAPD detectives and an aging billionaire looking to perfect the nuclear physics equivalent of the Big Bang.

The Big Bang marks Krantz’s  first theatrical feature.  He is a former agent who has taken the leap.
