A Jan. 5, 2024 theatrical release has been set. In the pic, an ex-CIA operative is thrown back into a dangerous world when a mysterious woman from his past resurfaces.

The Painter is directed by Kimani Ray Smith from a screenplay by Brian Buccellato. Scott Karol, President of SP Media Group, an EP on the movie, negotiated the deal.
