Oscar winner Russell Crowe and Priyanka Chopra Jonas are set to star in “Bluefly,” a science-fiction action thriller currently in development. Multiple outlets report this is the first time the two actors will work together. The film is directed by Nimród Antal, known for “Predators,” and the script is credited to David Frigerio, William Eubank, and Carlyle Eubank. Deadline adds that the project’s materials are being presented with pre-sales launching at the TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) Market.
The story, as described in available coverage, centers on a grieving UN translator who is pulled into an unfolding situation set deep in the Congo. ComingSoon.net and Deadline both reference the film’s cast being finalized, with ComingSoon.net quoting Arianne Fraser, CEO of the Highland Film Group, in connection with the completed casting. The sources agree on the core creative team and lead performers, but provide limited additional detail on release timing or production start dates.
