Producing the project are Justine Ciarrocchi, Lawrence Martin Scorsese and Andrea Calderwood. Black Label Media is providing the film’s financing.
Pattinson has recently been busy, recently starring alongside Christopher Nolan’s Tenet opposite John David Washington. From there, he landed a role in Matt Reeves’ The Batman. From his work in the project, he impressed Warner Bros wso much that they tapped him to star in Bong Joon Ho’s Mickey 17. The latter is slated for release next year.

Pattison is helping Ho make history. The sci-fi film marks his first feature since Parasite, which became the highest-grossing Korean film in history. It also served as the first non-English-language movie to win Best Picture at the Oscars.
