The independently financed film is described as a contemporary psychological thriller, but the logline is being kept under wraps. Branagh reunites with his Belfast producers Tamar Thomas, Laura Berwick and Becca Kovacik, along with Matthew Jenkins and Maximum Effort's Ashley Fox and Johnny Pariseau.
Branagh most recently starred in Christopher Nolan’s Oscar Best Picture-winning Oppenheimer. He recently wrapped production on Mayday opposite Ryan Reynolds for Apple Original Films and Skydance, and will return to the stage later this year for King Lear, premiering at the Shed in New York, starring and co-starring Rob Ashford and Lucy Skilbeck.
Branagh is repped by WME, Berwick & Kovacik and Gochman Law Group, and Arquette is repped by 3 Arts Entertainment, Gersh and Goodman, Genow, Schenkman. Sheen is repped by Roxane Vacca Management, CAA and Link Entertainment. Bateman is repped by CAA, United Agents in the U.K. and attorney Patti Felker.
