Rami Malek and Zoe Saldana Join David O Russell’s Untitled Film at New Regency
Rami Malek and Zoe Saldana have joined the cast of David O. Russell’s as-yet-untitled film at New Regency that is currently in production, an individual with knowledge of the project told TheWrap. They join an already stacked ensemble that includes Christian Bale, Margot Robbie and John David Washington.
Plot details are still being kept under wraps, but the film is based on an original idea from Russell, who is writing, directing and producing. It was previously reported that the film would be about the unlikely relationship between a doctor and a lawyer.
New Regency’s Arnon Milchan is producing the film along with Matthew Budman and Anthony Katagas.
