Denzel Washington is one of the most talented and beloved actors of his generation, a notion that very few movie fans would try to dispute. While the mejority of his characters are heroes of their own stories, the most memorable role of Washington’s career is also the biggest villain. It’s Washington’s jaw-dropping turn as dirty cop Alonzo Harris that makes Training Day stand the test of time, so it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that Warner Bros. is looking for a way to revisit the character.

According to a new report from Collider, Warner Bros. has hired Black List writer Nick Yarborough to pen a prequel to the 2001 crime thriller. The film will take place almost 10 years before the events of Training Day, in the year 1992, days before the Rodney King verdict and the onset of the L.A. riots. It will follow a younger version of Alonzo, long before he takes rookie detective Jake Hoyt under his wing.
