Cast and crew of 'Kockroach'
Apart from Hemsworth and Egerton, Kockroach also stars Rachel Sennott, Zazie Beetz, Alec Baldwin, and Brian Geraghty. The film is directed by Matt Ross, with a screenplay by Jonathan Ames. The story is a reimagining of Franz Kafka's classic tale Metamorphosis, where a man wakes up to find himself transformed into a cockroach. Black Bear has the international rights for the film. The first-look, as teased by Deadline, shows two suited men walking into a dark city.
Actor's insight
Hemsworth called the film one of his best projects
Last week, Hemsworth shared some behind-the-scenes photos from the shoot on social media. He described the experience as "possibly the most fun I've had on a set" and praised the project for its "one hell of a wild script." The film's plot apparently includes a supernatural element where Hemsworth's character transforms from a cockroach into a gangster, adding an intriguing twist to the narrative.
