Priyanka Chopra Jonas is expanding her Hollywood slate with another high-profile project. The global star has officially joined Academy Award winner Russell Crowe in the upcoming science-fiction action thriller Bluefly, a film that promises a blend of mystery, survival and military suspense.
Directed by Nimród Antal, the movie is currently preparing for production and is expected to begin filming later this year.
A High-Stakes Mission at the Heart of Bluefly
Set in the dense jungles of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Bluefly follows a grieving United Nations interpreter who becomes involved in a secret operation to recover a mysterious aircraft that officially does not exist.
As a Special Operations team travels through dangerous militia-controlled territory, the mission grows increasingly complex. The deeper they venture into the wilderness, the more they uncover a conspiracy that suggests the operation was never intended to succeed—or allow its participants to return safely.
While the filmmakers are keeping many story details under wraps, the film combines military action with science-fiction elements, setting the stage for an intense survival thriller.
Creative Team Behind the Film
Bluefly will be directed by Nimród Antal, known for helming action and thriller projects.
The screenplay has been written by:
- David Frigerio
- William Eubank
- Carlyle Eubank
The production brings together several established producers from the international film industry, while Highland Film Group will oversee worldwide sales.
The project is expected to be introduced to international buyers during the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) Market.
Production to Begin in Australia
Principal photography for Bluefly is scheduled to begin on Australia’s Gold Coast later this year.
The location has become a popular destination for large-scale international productions thanks to its diverse landscapes and modern production facilities.
An official theatrical release date has not yet been announced.
