British actress Lily James (“Pam & Tommy”) will join Chris Hemsworth in the submarine thriller “Subversion” at Amazon MGM Studios.
Hemsworth plays a once-promising naval commander who is blackmailed by a cartel-like organisation into piloting a dangerous submarine carrying illegal cargo across international waters.
Thrust into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse with a Coast Guard officer (James) in hot pursuit, the commander must outmaneuver blockades and navigate perilous threats both inside and outside the submarine.
Patrick Vollrath will direct, and Andrew Ferguson penned the film, which begins shooting in September in Australia.
Lorenzo di Bonaventura is producing with Stephen Shafer and Greg Cohen are executive producing.
James will next be seen with Riz Ahmed in David Mackenzie’s thriller “Relay,” the Bumble founder biopic “Swiped,” and recently wrapped work on Takashi Miike’s “Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo”.
