A new movie by David Mackenzie called Fuze is being developed that will star Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
Fuze brings back Taylor-Johnson and Mackenzie, who worked on Outlaw King in 2018, Variety reports. Ben Hopkins, who penned the script, is a thrilling look at evacuating an area due to a bomb.
About Fuze
According to the synopsis, it “opens on the discovery of an unexploded World War II bomb in a London construction site, sparking a mass evacuation — the perfect cover for a heist.”
Mackenzie said in a statement, “Tension is one of the purest emotions that cinema can create. I had the idea of combining all the high stakes of an unexploded bomb with that of a bank robbery — clashing these two genres to create as much pressure as possible — in a context that feels as real as possible. Ben Hopkins took those ingredients and cooked up the compelling script that we are now taking into production.”
