It will be produced by Elizabeth and Jordan Raposo for Outlier Society, Charles Roven at Atlas Entertainment, Toberoff Productions’ Marc Toberoff and Patrick McCormick are also producing, and Alan Trustman, writer of the McQueen original, will executive produce. The script was written by Drew Pearce.
Arjona signs on to the project after her critically acclaimed role as Bix Caleen in Star Wars Andor. She has also starred in Zoë Kravitz’ Blink Twice, Hit Man and Los Frikis among others. Arjona will next be seen in comedy Splitville from Neon and Topic Studios, which releases on August 22 following its premiere at this years Cannes Film Festival.
