Jonathan Bailey and Natalie Portman to Star in Thriller PUMPING BACK

Jonathan Bailey ("Jurassic World Rebirth", "Wicked: For Good") and Oscar winner Natalie Portman ("Black Swan") have signed on to star in the upcoming psychological thriller "Pumping Black" set in the competitive and cutthroat world of professional cycling. Described as an "adrenaline fuelled, dangerous thriller", the film is directed by Mimi Cave ("Fresh", "Holland") from a script by Haley Hope Bartels. Anton is fully financing and will launch international sales at Cannes with CAA co-repping the U.S.

The film follows cyclist Taylor Mace, who at 35-years-old is finding himself aging out of the sport. He is taken under the wing of Andrea Lathe, a doctor driven by her own thirst for victory and power. As the race to the Tour de France progresses, Taylor must take increasingly dark measures to protect his secret. Production is expected to begin this fall.

Producers include Stacey Sher at Shiny Penny ("The Hateful Eight", "Heretic"), Cave, Anton's Sébastien Raybaud ("Victorian Psycho"), alongside Natalie Portman and Sophie Mas from MountainA ("May December", "Arco").

Sher had this to say about the project: "Haley's script immediately pulled us into a visceral, psychological world that feels both thrilling and completely original. I'm excited to partner with Natalie and MountainA on this bold project, and to work with Jonathan whose talent makes him a perfect fit for the role. I can't wait to collaborate with Anton and bring Mimi Cave's incredible vision to life".

Portman's upcoming films for her MountainA banner include "The Gallerist" by Cathy Yan, and "Good Sex" by Lena Dunham.

Product Description: A new era is born. This summer, three years after the Jurassic World trilogy concluded with each film surpassing $1 billion at the global box office, the enduring Jurassic series evolves in an ingenious new direction with Jurassic World Rebirth. Anchored by iconic action superstar Scarlett Johansson, Emmy and SAG nominee Jonathan Bailey and two-time Oscar® winner Mahershala Ali, this action-packed new chapter sees an extraction team race to the most dangerous place on Earth, an island research facility for the original Jurassic Park, inhabited by the worst of the worst that were left behind. Also starring acclaimed international stars Rupert Friend and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, the film is directed by dynamic visualist Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) from a script by original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp. Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air within that tropical biosphere hold, in their DNA, the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.
