The plot follows a group of Miami cops whose trust begins to fray after they discover millions in cash in a derelict stash house. As outside forces learn about the size of the seizure, everything is called into question — including who they can rely on. Michael Joe and Kevin Halloran of Artists Equity will executive produce.
After launching Artists Equity in November 2022, Damon and Affleck released the company’s first film, Air, in spring 2023 to strong reviews and a solid box office performance. Since then, it has produced the documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told for Amazon MGM Studios and Small Things Like These, which opened this year’s Berlin Film Festival and won the Silver Bear for supporting actress Emily Watson. Recent releases include Apple’s The Instigators starring Damon, while the Amazon MGM pic Unstoppable is gearing for a December premiere after its debut at TIFF.
Taylor is coming off the drama A Thousand and One, which bowed at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival and earned her strong reviews for her performance.
Calle is best known for her breakout role as Supergirl in the DC Studios pic The Flash. She was also recently seen in On Swift Horses.
Calle is represented by CAA and attorney Sloane Whiteside. Taylor is repped by WME and Taylormade Management Group.
