Jeremy Irvine is one of the those actors who it feels could have a real, lengthy film career. Following the likes of War Horse, Great Expectations and Now Is Good, he’s signed up to star alongside Michael Douglas in The Reach according to THR.
It will certainly be a challenge for both actors, as they’re essentially only people in the film for the majority of the running time. It’s about a hunting enthusiast (played by Douglas) who hires a guide (Irvine) ‘for a trek through the desert. The two start off on the wrong foot and things only get worse when the hunter kills a prospector. The hunter then becomes a merciless torturer to the guide and puts him through painful mental and physical tests in the middle of the sweltering desert.’
Sounds like fun!
Jean-Baptiste Leonetti is directing the thriller, which is based on a 1972 Robb White novel called Deathwatch. Stephen Susco wrote the scipt. The movie will begin shooting in New Mexico at the end of this month.
