The Little Things (2021 film)

The Little Things is a 2021 American neo-noir crime thriller film written and directed by John Lee Hancock and produced by Hancock and Mark Johnson. Set in early 1990s Los Angeles, the film follows detectives (Denzel Washington and Rami Malek) who investigate a string of murders, which lead them to a strange loner who may be the culprit (Jared Leto). The film also stars Natalie Morales.
The film was originally set to be directed by Steven Spielberg and star Danny DeVito, Clint Eastwood and Warren Beatty, but the film languished in development hell. DeVito, Eastwood, and Beatty separated themselves from the project before it was announced in 2019 that Hancock would direct. The new cast was also announced in 2019 and included Malek, Leto and Washington. Principal photography began in Los Angeles on September 2, 2019 and wrapped in December 2019.
The Little Things was released in the United States on January 29, 2021 by Warner Bros. Pictures, both theatrically and, for one month, simultaneously on the HBO Max streaming service. The film received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for the cast. For his performance, Leto received Best Supporting Actor nominations at the Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild Awards.
