Priyanka Chopra announces new Hollywood film with Russell Crowe
On Thursday, Priyanka took to Instagram to announce her upcoming film Bluefly. Directed by Nimród Antal, the film is written by David Frigerio (Beast), William Eubank (Underwater) and Carlyle Eubank (Muzzle). Sharing the announcement, Priyanka simply wrote, “On to the next.”
According to Deadline, the synopsis of the film reads: “Deep in the Congo, a grieving UN translator is pulled onto a black-ops mission to recover a downed aircraft that isn’t supposed to exist. As a Special Operations team pushes upriver through militia-held territory, the recovery becomes a descent — and the closer they get to the craft, the clearer it becomes that they were never meant to bring it home.”
The sci-fi action thriller is produced by Michael Jefferson for Polite Society, David Frigerio for Broken Open Pictures, Deborah Glover for G2 Dispatch, Arianne Fraser and Delphine Perrier for Highland Film Group, and Vanessa Yao Guo.
Talking about the project, Highland Film Group COO Perrier told the publication, “Bluefly is heart-pounding entertainment with a complex story full of unexpected twists. With Nimród Antal at the helm and our wonderful cast, we cannot wait to introduce this fantastic project to our global buyers.”
Nick Jonas and Huma Qureshi hyped Priyanka up in the comments section by dropping fire emojis. Fans also expressed their excitement about the movie. One comment read, “That’s a casting worth watching.” Another fan wrote, “She is crushing it.” A third commented, “This sounds so good,” while another wrote, “She is going big, man.”
For the unversed, Russell Crowe is one of Hollywood’s most recognisable actors, best known for his Oscar-winning performance as Maximus in Ridley Scott’s Gladiator. The 2000 epic won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Crowe. His association with Bluefly adds further star power to the project.
