Chopra Jonas and Crowe to lead Antal's 'Bluefly' thriller
Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Russell Crowe are joining forces in Bluefly, a new sci-fi action thriller directed by Nimrod Antal.
The story follows a U.N. translator who gets pulled into a secret mission in Congo to recover a mysterious aircraft, with things quickly spiraling into survival mode.
The film starts shooting later this year on Australia's Gold Coast and will be officially introduced to buyers at the 2026 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).
Frigerio and Eubanks promise character focus
The creative team, writers David Frigerio, William Eubank, and Carlyle Eubank, promise a character-driven story with big sci-fi ideas.
Director Antal says "Bluefly is an intense, character-driven thriller built around a bold science-fiction concept. It's the kind of film I love making, grounded, suspenseful and filled with tension. I couldn't have asked for a better cast and team."
while producer Arianne Fraser says it packs an emotional punch similar to Arrival.
With Highland Film Group handling global sales and an intense plot set in militia territory, Bluefly is shaping up to be one to watch.
