Orlando Bloom to Star in Movie "The Cut"

Pirates Of The Caribbean and Carnival Row star Orlando Bloom is set to star in the psychological thriller movie "The Cut".

Bloom will play a boxer who comes out of retirement to vie for his championship title through a grueling and unsanctioned weight-cut program with a coach who knows no limits, alienating himself from reality and loved ones, as he spirals out of control.

Filming is due to start in the summer of 2023 in Nevada.

Sean Ellis, director of thriller Anthropoid and BAFTA-nominated crime-drama Metro Manila, will direct an adapted screenplay by Justin Bull from a story by Mark Lane.

Producers are James Harris and Mark Lane of Tea Shop Productions and Orlando Bloom and Adam Karasick of Amazing Owl.

Bloom recently wrapped production on Sony Pictures' "Gran Turismo" and A24’s "Wizards!".  He will next be seen in season two of Amazon’s "Carnival Row", on which he is also an executive producer.
