\n\tEXCLUSIVE: 308 Entertainment\u2019s supernatural thriller Unmerciful Good Fortune<\/a> has set Oscar nominee Antonio Banderas<\/a> opposite Rosario Dawson, Scott Eastwood and Susan Sarandon in the pic from writer-director Tirsa Hackshaw.<\/p>\n

\n\tUnmerciful Good Fortune is based on Edwin S\u00e1nchez\u2019s stage play and centers on Maritza Cruz (Dawson), a high-end celebrity attorney pulled into a headline-making case involving a young woman accused of multiple murders \u2014 only for the defendant to claim she possesses psychic abilities and kills to prevent worse fates, plunging Maritza into a moral and spiritual labyrinth. The project is in pre-production.<\/p>\n

\n\tBanderas takes on the role of Pito Cruz. Eastwood plays Paul Leslie, and Sarandon is Dr. Irene Charles.<\/p>\n

\n\tProducers are Tom DeSanto, Corey Large, Rosario Dawson, Brian Kirchoff and Jordan Wilson. Playhouse Group is financing Unmerciful Good Fortune with Lorcan Kavanagh leading and Gordon Bijelonic executive producing. EPs also include Tim Marlowe and Jordan Nott. <\/p>\n

\n\tBanderas most recently starred in Babygirl, Paddington in Peru and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. The actor who came to fame in Pedro Almod\u00f3var\u2019s canon received a Best Actor Oscar nomination for 2020\u2019s Pain and Glory. He is repped\u00a0by Emanuel Nunez of NuCo Media Group\u00a0and\u00a0Greenberg Glusker\u00a0LLP.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019ve been joking in prep that it\u2019s a murderer\u2019s row; the talent joining this film is staggering,\u201d Hackshaw said. \u201cIt\u2019s the perfect lineup to tell this darkly lyrical story that sits at the edge of the psychological and the supernatural. Beyond the sheer talent, meeting Antonio and seeing what he\u2019s built in Spain unlocked the potential of this movie in ways I hadn\u2019t imagined. We\u2019re thrilled to channel that energy with Antonio and show what\u2019s possible when you tap into a place alive with extraordinary creativity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDeSanto added: \u201cAntonio is a living legend and part of Hollywood royalty. The talent we have brought together for Unmerciful Good Fortune just shows how good the story is. Like Weapons and Black Phone, it\u2019s a supernatural thriller that is going to bring people back to theaters and have them talking about it for days after.\u201d<\/p>\n
