Alex Pettyfer (Magic Mike), Guy Pearce (The Brutalist), Maria Pedraza (Money Heist), and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Suicide Squad) have signed on to star in the erotic thriller Blurred.
The film is written and directed by Ben Cookson (Waiting for Anya). Producers are Pettyfer and James Ireland for Dark Dreams Entertainment and Yariv Lerner (Lionsgate’s Hellboy and Rambo: Last Blood) for Film Forage. The executive producer is Pia Patatian for Cloud9 Studios, who will introduce the project to buyers at the upcoming EFM.
Production on the pic was completed last summer in the UK. The film is described as an erotic thriller set in New York’s fashion world.
“Blurred is a smart and sexy thriller with a brilliant cast led by Alex Pettyfer who is joined by Guy Pearce,” Patatian said. “Set against the hustle and flow of New York’s fashion world, it’s a beautiful, raw, and intense thrill ride and we cannot wait to introduce this fantastic project to buyers in Berlin.”
James Ireland and Alex Pettyfer added: “Blurred has been an incredible journey—one that has taken years of work, creativity, and passion. Collaborating with such exceptional talent, both in front of and behind the camera, has been nothing short of inspiring. This film is a testament to the power of storytelling, and we cannot wait to finally share it with the world.”
Cloud9 Studios’ slate also includes Barry Levinson’s thriller Assassination starring Academy Award-winners Jessica Chastain, Brendan Fraser, and Al Pacino, and six-time Emmy-winner Bryan Cranston. The company is also repping the romantic comedy Under the Stars starring Toni Collette and Andy Garcia and the supernatural horror thriller Unmerciful Good Fortune starring Rosario Dawson.
