Washington was first informed of the project by actor Robert Davi; with Washington becoming enthralled by Bass Reeves after having a conversation with a woman who had been attempting to produce the project. Washington offered to direct the work, after production almost ceased due to internal disputes surrounding the film.

In September 2020, Deadline reported that Washington was directing Corsicana, a film based on the life of Bass Reeves, with filming currently underway. The film features the city Corsicana, Texas, with screenwriter Robert Johnson noting that he wanted "to bring something to the city of Corsicana, a city I love...Bass Reeves never set foot in Corsicana and that's why it's historical fiction but I did want to pay homage to Corsicana.
