Michelle Rodriguez ("Fast & Furious", "Avatar") and Richard Gere ("The Agency") are set to star in the survival thriller "Left Seat", which will be directed by Ben Younger ("Bleed for This") from a script by David M. Crabtree with current revisions by Younger.
Here is the official synopsis: "When a traveling pharmaceutical rep (Rodriguez) is forced to take control of a small charter plane after the pilot falls unconscious mid-flight, she must rely on the help of a stranger (Gere) over the radio, to navigate through deadly storms and land the aircraft before the fuel runs out."
Anton is handling international sales, and WME Independent will handle North American sales, launching at the Marche du Film. The film is being produced by longtime Mandalay President Jason Michael Berman under his new banner A/Vantage Pictures. Berman's credits from his decade plus run at Mandalay include Spike Lee's "Highest 2 Lowest", which is premiering at this year's Cannes festival, and Ben Affleck's sports biopic "Air". David M. Crabtree and Ben Younger will also produce. Executive-producing are Peter Guber for Mandalay Pictures and Matthew Lindner and Jordan Moldo for A/Vantage Pictures. A/Vantage Pictures is providing financing.
Here's what Berman had to say about the project: "I am thrilled to be bringing David M. Crabtree's brilliant screenplay to life, which is a visceral cinematic experience that explores important themes of the human experience with emotional depth. To have Ben Younger directing and writing on the movie will create the most authentic experience possible for our audience, as Ben is a pilot in real life, as well as a brilliant filmmaker and screenwriter who creates movies with incredible tension, along with heart. And finally, to be working with the extraordinarily talented actors Michelle Rodriguez and Richard Gere to bring Left Seat to the screen is a dream come true."
Rodriguez can next be seen in "Fast X: Part 2". Gere currently stars in the drama series "The Agency".
