After starring together in Avengers: Endgame and Wake Up Dead Man, Jeremy Renner and Josh Brolin‘s next movie will be the survival thriller A Speck in the Sea.
According to Deadline, Renner and Brolin will headline the survival thriller, which has Orlando von Einsiedel (White Helmets) attached to direct. Jeff Pope (Philomena) penned the screenplay.
A Speck in the Sea tells the incredible true story of Johnny Aldridge (Brolin), a Montauk lobster fisherman, who in 2013 fell off his fishing boat in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean in the dead of night, with Anthony Sosinski (Renner), his best friend and fishing partner, asleep below deck. When Anthony awakens to discover Johnny missing, he instigates a multi-state rescue operation…but all the while, Johnny must fight to stay alive in the middle of the ocean using every survivalist trick he can think of.
The film is being produced by Mark Bauch for One Day’s Walk and Jonathan Eirich for Rideback. 193, a Legendary company, is repping international sales on the title at AFM.
“A Speck in the Sea brings together an exceptional cast and creative team to tell a wild true story of survival, friendship, and the human will to endure,” said 193 CEO Patrick Wachsberger. “The film has all the elements of a gripping, moving cinematic experience, and we look forward to making it available at the upcoming AFM.”
