A Complete Unknown<\/a>.\u00a0Mangold is attached to direct High Side, a biker thriller, with Chalamet attached to star.<\/p>\n\n\tPeter Chernin and David Ready are attached to produce on behalf of Chernin Entertainment alongside Mangold.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tHigh Side is based on an original, unpublished story by Jaime Oliveira,\u00a0who is also adapting the screenplay.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to be in business with visionary artists like James and Timoth\u00e9e, and exceptional collaborators\u00a0like Peter and David at Chernin,\u201d said Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein, co-chairs of Paramount Pictures, in a statement. \u201cWhat Jaime has created reflects the kind of bold, original storytelling we\u2019re committed to championing at Paramount \u2013 and\u00a0we\u00a0couldn\u2019t be more excited to hit the ground running with\u00a0High Side.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tDescribed as Heat\u00a0meets\u00a0Hell or High Water,\u00a0High Side tells of a former MotoGP racer. Haunted by a career-ending crash and a family legacy of abandonment, he is drawn back into the world of high-speed risks and extreme danger when his estranged brother, already being pursued by the FBI, recruits him for a series of bank robberies on superbikes.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cDavid, Dana, and Josh display a real commitment to original, story-driven filmmaking on the big screen and this passion made it easy for Timoth\u00e9e, Peter, and me to land on this project,\u201d stated Mangold. \u201cTimoth\u00e9e is a trusted collaborator, a generational artist and a person I adore. I can\u2019t wait to roll up my sleeves and work together again.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tThe project reunites Chernin with Mangold after the collaborations on\u00a0Ford vs Ferrari, which Mangold directed, and\u00a0The Greatest Showman, on which Mangold served as an exec producer.<\/p>\n
\n\tIt\u2019s unclear where the project will land on the filmmaker\u2019s busy schedule, who is developing a Swamp Thing for DC as well as a Star Wars movie for Lucasfilm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The new Paramount Pictures is already making a flex.
