Co-founders Andrew Cosby and Ross Richie are attached to produce via their Boom Entertainment banner alongside Platt. 2 GUNS was created and written by Steven Grant, a veteran comic book scribe well known for developing Marvel Comics&rsquo; THE PUNISHER into a<!--more-->\u00a0franchise character. Story follows two thieves targeting a mob bank &#8211; unknown to either, they&rsquo;re both undercover agents. They pull off their heist, only to find out they&rsquo;ve stolen cash from a CIA black bag operation, not the mob, and are now in over their heads.
