As Andrea Arnold wraps up her upcoming film “Bird” with stars Barry Keoghan and Franz Rogowski, she has also announced her next project: a crime thriller based on a true story. Scarlett Johansson is set to star in the film, as reported by Deadline.
A key informant for the FBI played a crucial role in a lengthy investigation into the violent neo-Nazi organization called the Aryan Brotherhood Of Texas. Living among the gang members, she gathered vital information, prevented crimes, and assisted in convicting 13 members of the group. Despite her bravery, the experience took a toll on her both physically and mentally, and she continues to live in fear of retaliation from the ABT. There is no set timeline for a production yet, but with Scarlett Johansson’s availability, the project could move forward quickly if negotiations are successful at the EFM.
In anticipation of the Berlinale debut of his sci-fi movie “The Empire,” Bruno Dumont has announced his next project. According to Screen Daily, Dumont will direct “Red Rocks,” a film inspired by Romeo and Juliet, set against the backdrop of a sunny summer on the French Riviera. Production is scheduled to begin later this year.
Despite an upcoming shoot scheduled for later this year and ongoing casting efforts, deadline reports that no specific plot information has been revealed for the collaboration between Trachtenberg and Patrick Aison. The distribution platform for the project, whether it will be a theatrical release or on Hulu, has not been determined. However, it has been confirmed that a separate Prey 2 project is currently in the works.
