Cut & Run, a heist thriller from Brian Oliver and Bradley Fischer’s New Republic, has Jake Gyllenhaal attached to star in and produce.
“A crew of burglars utilising high-powered speedboats to heist superyachts take the wrong thing from the wrong set of people,” the project’s logline states, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Gyllenhaal and the New Republic had previously collaborated upon that forthcoming Universal film Ambulance, directed by Michael Bay. Cut & Run is their newest collaboration. A collaboration between the New Republic and Nine Stories is also in the works for a film version of Robert Kirkman’s graphic novel “Oblivion Song.”
The spec script got picked up inside a competitive scenario by the New Republic and therefore is written by John Glenn, whose credits includes Eagle Eye and Law Abiding Citizen. Under his Nine Stories Productions, Gyllenhaal, Oliver, Fischer, and Glenn will produce.
Jake Gyllenhaal’s previous film was indeed the Netflix drama The Guilty, and he’ll be returning on the big screen with Ambulance on April 8. The Interpreter, an STX film, is one of his next ventures.
