After starring in Twisters, which grossed more than $350 million at the worldwide box office, one of the film’s stars has officially found his next project. A new report from Deadline revealed that Anthony Ramos has joined the cast of Kathryn Bigelow‘s untitled thriller, which will stream on Netflix upon release. In addition to the title, the plot for the film remains under wraps, but Ramos joins a star-studded cast led by Idris Elba and Rebecca Ferguson, with Jared Harris, Greta Lee, Moses Ingram, Tracey Letts, and Gabriel Basso all tapped for supporting roles. Deadline‘s article reports that the thriller will take place at the White House as a national crisis unfolds, but Netflix did not confirm this report when Deadline reached out for confirmation. The untitled film is also currently without a start date for production and a release date.
No screenwriter has been tapped for the film, but Bigelow will direct, and it will be her first feature outing since she helmed Detroit in 2017. Detroit is led by two Marvel and Star Wars veterans, Anthony Mackie and John Boyega, and the true crime thriller follows a group of rogue police officers in Detroit who respond to the 1967 Detroit riots with retribution over justice in their minds. Detroit was well-received upon release, and the film currently sits at an 82% score from critics and a 79% rating from general audiences on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes. Bigelow has also directed Zero Dark Thirty (Jessica Chastain, Joel Edgerton), The Hurt Locker (Jeremy Renner, Guy Pearce), and K-19: The Widowmaker (Harrison Ford).
