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.
