Salma Hayek Pinault is teaming up with Anne Hathaway for Seesaw Monster over at Netflix. The streamer announced on Tuesday that it acquired the rights to the book penned by Kotaro Isaka, the man behind the original work that inspired David Leitch’s Bullet Train adaptation over at Sony this summer.
Hayek Pinault and Hathaway will star in, as well as produce the pic from a script by Olivia Milch. Details are being kept under wraps but it is said that Hathaway and Hayek Pinault will play “rivals forced to work together in an action comedy two-hander.” A director tentatively remains unnamed.
Akiva Goldsman and Gregory Lessans are producing for Weed Road Pictures, as is Hayek Pinault for Ventanarosa Productions and Hathaway for Somewhere Pictures, along with Ryosuke Saegusa and Yuma Terada (Bullet Train) for CTB Inc.
Exec producing are Jose Tamez, Siobhan Flynn for Ventanarosa Productions and Adam Shulman, Jonathan Rice for Somewhere Pictures, and Milch.
