Netflix will be welcoming Chernobyl’s Jared Harris and The Night Agent’s Gabriel Basso to the untitled Kathryn Bigelow movie cast, which is being described as a White House thriller. Both actors are currently finalizing their deals to officially joined the project.
Harris is currently starring in Apple TV+’s Foundation, which had concluded its 10-episode Season 2 run last September 15, 2023. The sci-fi drama has already been renewed for a third season. The untitled Kathryn Bigelow movie marks Basso’s latest collaboration with the streamer following the success of the action thriller series The Night Agent, which just wrapped up its Season 2 production. He was most recently seen in the horror thriller movie The Strangers: Chapter Chapter 1 and will next be seen in the action thriller film Trigger Warning with Jessica Alba.
Who will lead the untitled Kathryn Bigelow movie cast?
Prior to Harris and Basso, it had been previously reported that Idris Elba (The Wire, Pacific Rim) and Rebecca Ferguson (Dune: Part Two) have signed on for leading roles in Netflix’s untitled Kathryn Bieglow movie, which will served as the acclaimed filmmaker’s feature directorial comeback. The project will reportedly have the same tone as 2012’s Zero Dark Thirty. According to its brief synopsis, the fill will revolve around “a group of White House officials scrambling to deal with an incoming missile attack on the U.S.” Further details about the current cast members’ characters are still under wraps.
The upcoming White House thriller wasn’t actully going to be Bigelow’s director comeback project, as the Oscar-winning filmmaker was originally attached to helm the film adaptation of Aurora based on blockbuster scribe David Keopp’s survival thriller novel, which was first announced back in 2022. The movie would have centered around characters who are coping with the collapse of the social order, set against a catastrophic worldwide power crisis. The apocalyptic thriller was ultimately scrapped after it was revealed that Netflix had already left the project earlier this year. Despite this, Bigelow and Netflix remained committed to working with each other, with former Netflix Films boss Scott Stuber previously confirming that they are currently collaborating on “couple of things.”
