The film, unofficially presented at CinemaCon back in March as American Express, sees actor David Oyewolo (Selma, Captive, Nina) in the role of Harold Soyinka, a newly married, mild-mannered American businessman whose prospects in the pharmaceutical field turn null and void when he ends up stranded South of the border with a price on his head, and questions about the life he had which never existed. Veteran stunt professional and producer Nash Edgerton makes his sophomore directorial offering from a script by producer Anthony Tambakis and Matt Stone with actresses Amanda Seyfried, Charlize Theron and Thandie Newton, and actors Yul Vazquez and Hardcore Henry co-star Sharlto Copley also starring.
Amazon Studios is co-releasing the film with STX, and also producing along with Rebecca Yeldham, AJ Dix and Beth Kono, with Trish Hofmann executive producing. Oyewolo, recently cast in J.J. Abrams’s forthcoming sci-fi, God Particle, returns to the big screen this September in Disney’s inspirational Chess drama, Queen of Katwe.
