As reported by Variety, Miles Teller and Eddie Redmayne are in talks to star in Star One, a spy thriller which will be directed by Doug Liman. The project is set to launch at the market in Cannes next week.

Star One

The film will follow “two wildly mismatched CIA agents, the first daring and charismatic (Teller), and the other, a strait-laced strategist (Redmayne), who must work together to execute a top-secret mission: a treacherous journey across thousands of miles of enemy territory to covertly deliver arms.” The synopsis adds that the film will tell the “untold true story of the first intelligence star ever awarded for one of the most important yet least known missions in modern history.“

Liman will direct from a script by David Coggeshall (The Family Plan).

Bitcoin

Liman recently wrapped production on Bitcoin, a conspiracy thriller starring Casey Affleck and Pete Davidson about the identity of the mysterious individual behind the creation of cryptocurrency. The film has been raising interest (or outrage) due to its use of AI technology. Instead of real-world locations, the sets are entirely made of AI backgrounds. Additionally, Liman and producer Ryan Kavanaugh have said that they will use AI to “adjust” some performances. I must admit, I am curious to see what this one will look like.

“I love David and Goliath stories,” Liman said in a statement. “Killing Satoshi follows unlikely antiheroes taking on the most powerful people on the planet in an epic battle that strikes at the core of what is money and who controls it. I’m so excited to be collaborating with Casey Affleck again opposite the incredible Pete Davidson.“

Kavanaugh added, “This is not just a movie about Bitcoin and its elusive and mysterious origins but really about what it stands for. We look at this film much the same way as we did with ‘Social Network’ and its examination of Facebook. This should equally be a look into the world of what Bitcoin really is.”
