‘Transformers’ Star Becomes Call Girl for ‘Loft’
Transformers star Rachael Taylor will play one of female leads in Loft, the ensemble thriller from Anonymous Content, writes Variety.
Erik Van Looy’s English-language remake of his own 2008 Belgian pic stars Patrick Wilson, James Marsden, Wentworth Miller, Eric Stonestreet and Isabel Lucas.
The edgy indie “follows five married friends who share a loft where each brings his mistress. When the body of an unknown woman is found there, they begin to suspect one another of murder.”
Taylor will play “Ann,” a call girl who Wilson pays to seduce Marsden, who she then ends up falling for.
Wesley Strick (A Nightmare on Elm Street, Doom) is adapting Bart De Pauw’s original screenplay.
Taylor recently wrapped Summit Entertainment’s Moscow-set alien invasion pic The Darkest Hour, which stars Emile Hirsch and Olivia Thirlby.
It’s hard to imagine that anyone was begging for yet another Robin Hood movie, but this latest one sounds quite a bit more interesting than the usual tale. Deadline reports this afternoon that Michael Sarnoski (Pig, the upcoming horror prequel A Quiet Place: Day One) is directing The Death of Robin Hood, said to be a darker reimagining of the classic story.
And get this. Hugh Jackman and Jodie Comer are attached to star!
Deadline details, “The film is a darker reimagining of the classic Robin Hood tale. Set of its time, the film will see the title character grappling with his past after a life of crime and murder, a battleworn loner who finds himself gravely injured and in the hands of a mysterious woman who offers him a chance at salvation. Production is due to begin in February 2025.”
Michael Sarnoski wrote the screenplay and will be directing the film.
Aaron Ryder and Andrew Swett will produce under their Ryder Picture Company banner alongside Alexander Black for Lyrical Media. Lyrical’s Jon Rosenberg and Natalie Sellers will executive-produce with Rama Gottumukkala, Sarnoski, and Jackman.
“This is not the story of Robin Hood we’ve all come to know,” teased Aaron Ryder and Andrew Swett of RPC. “Instead, Michael has crafted something far more grounded and visceral. Thanks to Alexander Black and our friends at Lyrical along with Rama and Michael, the world is going to love seeing Hugh and Jodie together in this epic.”
“It has been an incredible opportunity to reinvent and freshly innovate the story we all know of Robin Hood,” adds Sarnoski. “Securing the perfect cast to transform the script to screen was essential. I could not be more thrilled and trusting in Hugh and Jodie to bring this story to life in a powerful and meaningful way.”
