Apple may have just seen its biggest success yet for Apple TV+ with last week's premiere of the Tom Hanks WWII film 'Greyhound', but that isn't stopping the company from announcing another original film with a huge star attached to the movie.
In a press release on the Apple TV+ Press website, Apple has announced that it has landed "Palmer", an original film that will star Justin Timberlake and be directed by Fisher Stevens. According to the release, "Palmer" focuses on the story of Eddie Palmer, an ex-convict who tries to get their life back together by taking an abandoned child under their wing.
The script for "Palmer" apparently appeared on the 2016 Black List, a yearly "survey of the most liked unproduced screenplays of that year", according to The Black List website.
There is no current idea as to when "Palmer" will be released on Apple's streaming service.
