Priyanka Chopra and Russell Crowe to star in sci‑fi thriller Bluefly
Hollywood actors Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Oscar‑winner Russell Crowe have been confirmed as the leads of the upcoming science‑fiction action thriller Bluefly. The film is being directed by Nimród Antal, known for Predators, and the screenplay is credited to David Frigerio, William Eubank and Carlyle Eubank. Production is being handled by Highland Film Group together with Polite Society, Broken Open Pictures and other partners. Principal photography is slated to begin later this year on Australia’s Gold Coast, with worldwide sales to be launched at the Toronto International Film Festival market. The story follows a grieving United Nations translator in the Congo who is drawn into a black‑ops mission to recover a downed aircraft that “isn’t supposed to exist.” As a Special Operations team pushes upriver through militia‑held territory, the recovery turns into a desperate descent, revealing that the aircraft was never meant to be brought home. Executives from Highland Film Group have described the project as a “high‑stakes, sci‑fi thrill ride” with “heart‑pounding entertainment” and “unexpected twists.”
