Next to Split Second, Manhunt, Mind Fall and the upcoming start date for Robert Rodruguez’s Hypnotic, action thriller Shadow Run will be reportedly on deck to join the line-up for Solstice Studios. The company will soon be rolling out Russell Crowe thriller, Unhinged, beginning July 31 just as select theaters begin to reopen after months of shutdown due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Shadow Run tells the story of a CIA agent who devoted five years of his life to capturing the Russian spy who killed his wife. His triumph turns into a nightmare when he’s told that, not only is America trading the spy away – but he’s been assigned to make the swap. Now he’s stuck with his mortal enemy on an off-the-books “shadow run” where nothing happens as planned and everyone is trying to kill them.
Deadline‘s Anthony D’Alessandro reports the company is partnering with Original Film (Fast And Furious saga). Script is by Joe Gazzam who is also writing the Cliffhanger reboot announced last year.
Neal H. Moritz and Toby Jaffe will produce for Original Film with Solstice SVP of Development and Production Beth Bruckner O’Brien, and Creative Executive Leah Bleich overseeing. Solstice will finance and release in the U.S., as well as sell the film internationally.
