The Little Things is a 2021 American neo-noir psychological crime thriller written, directed and co-produced by John Lee Hancock. It is set in Los Angeles in the early 1990s. Kern County Deputy Sheriff Joe Deacon (Denzel Washington), a former Los Angeles detective, is sent to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department to collect evidence. There he accompanies the newly appointed lead detective Jimmy Baxter (Rami Malek) to the scene of a new murder and notices similarities with an old serial murder case he was never able to solve. Their investigation of a string of killings leads the two detectives to a strange loner who may be the culprit (Jared Leto). Natalie Morales is also in the cast. Hancock wrote the first draft of the screenplay in 1993, but the project languished in development for years and was revived only in 2019, with Washington, Malek and Leto cast in the main roles. Filming took place in Los Angeles from September to December 2019. Warner Bros. Pictures released The Little Things in the United States on 29 January 2021, both in theatres and, for one month, on HBO Max; it opened in Ukraine on 4 February 2021. For his performance, Leto was nominated for the Golden Globe and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Supporting Actor.
