Two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali and Oscar nominee Tom Hardy have signed on to star in the crime thriller "77 Blackout" which will be directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga ("No Time to Die") from a script by Frank John Hughes (with revisions by Fukunaga).
The film is set in 1977 and follows five rogue police officers who formulate a plan to rob three criminal strongholds – the Hong Kong Triads, the Italian Mafia, and the Harlem Mob – all in one night. When a blackout sweeps the city the night of the robbery, the crew is forced to navigate a hellish landscape as years of being overworked and underpaid forces each of them to confront their own morality.
Oscar-winning "Oppenheimer" producer Charles Roven will handle production duties alongside Madison Weireter for Atlas Entertainment, and William Green and Aaron Ginsburg for The Cut.
