Idris Elba is set to star in a new thriller that is based on an original idea created by Jaime Primak-Sullivan. The movie is set up at Universal Pictures, Baltasar Kormakur will direct the film, and Rampage scribe Ryan Engle wrote the script.
We don’t have any detailed plot deals to share, but it’s explained that the story is in the vein of The Shallows, but instead of facing off with a shark, the main character, who is played by Elba, will face off with a Lion.
Of course, Idris Elba is going to take on a Lion! Hell yeah! I’ll watch a movie that features Elba fighting a Lion! Elba will totally kick its ass!
Will Packer and James Lopez are set to produce with Primak-Sullivan. This marks the second reteam of this producing team after working together on the 2018 thriller Breaking In.
