Bluefly, an upcoming sci-fi action film starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Russell Crowe, was recently unveiled. The film is written by David Frigerio (Beast, Land of Bad), William Eubank (Underwater, The Signal), and Carlyle Eubank (Broke, Muzzle) and directed by Nimké Antal (Predators, Stranger Things).
The film, which is set in the Congo, follows a distraught UN interpreter who is enlisted in a black-ops mission to retrieve a wrecked aircraft. The creators said in a press statement, “As a Special Operations team pushes upriver thru 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.”
“Bluefly is an intense, character-driven thriller wrapped inside a bold science-fiction premise,” Nimké Antal stated in reference to the movie. “I couldn’t ask for a greater cast or crew to bring it to the big screen; it’s the kind of picture I live to make, grounded, fast-paced, and full of dread.” Michael Jefferson of Polite Society, David Frigerio of Broken Open Pictures, Deborah Glover of G2 Dispatch, Arianne Fraser and Delphine Perrier of Highland Film Group, and Vanessa Yao Guo are the producers of Bluefly. Lia Buman, Guy Davies, RuthAnne Frigerio, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Jason Kringstein, Katie Leary, and Scott Levenson are the executive producers of the movie.
The principal photography is scheduled to start later this year on Australia’s Gold Coast.
In the upcoming survival thriller Reset, Priyanka will co-star with Orlando Bloom. Her most recent appearance was in The Bluff, a Prime Video film starring John Cena and Idris Elba. She will also have a significant role in S.S. Rajamouli’s upcoming action-adventure epic Varanasi, which is scheduled for release on April 7, 2027.
In the meanwhile, Crowe was recently seen in Nuremberg and will next appear in the thrillers Unabomber on Netflix, The Weight on Vertical, Billion Dollar Spy on Walden Media, and the eagerly awaited Highlander revival from Amazon MGM.
