Aaron Taylor-Johnson has signed up to star in the heist thriller Fuze.
The Bullet Train star is reuniting with Hell or Excessive Water director David Mackenzie after working together on 2018’s Outlaw King.
According to the synopsis, Fuze opens with the invention of an unexploded World Battle II bomb in a London building location, sparking a mass evacuation – the excellent screen for a heist.
“Tension is one in every of the purest emotions that cinema can find,” the Scottish director said in an announcement. “I had the root of combining the entire high stakes of an unexploded bomb with that of a bank theft – clashing these two genres to find as mighty stress as conceivable -in a context that feels as precise as conceivable. (Screenwriter) Ben Hopkins took these ingredients and cooked up the compelling script that we are now taking into production.”
The film is being produced by Gillian Berrie for her and Mackenzie’s production company, Sigma Films, as effectively as Sebastien Raybaud and Callum Grant for Anton.
“David is uniquely talented at pairing immense-scale filmmaking with in reality extraordinary characters. FUZE melds the relentless tension of a bomb movie to the heist genre. Buckle up!” Raybaud and Grant added.
Taylor-Johnson has had a busy film time desk of leisurely. He has already wrapped filming on Kraven the Hunter, in which he plays the title character, David Leitch’s action-comedy The Fall Man, and Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu.
