Paul Greengrass, who’s known for films like United 93 , Captain Phillips , and the Bourne franchise, has been keeping busy. His wildfire drama The Lost Bus , starring Matthew McConaughey and America Ferrera, is premiering at the Toronto Film Festival this week. But even before audiences see that film, Greengrass is moving full steam ahead with this new project. He’ll direct, with production backing from Blumhouse’s Jason Blum, Greg Goodman, Joanna Kaye, Lars Sylvest, and Joe Neurauter.
For Katherine Waterston, this marks another exciting step in her career. She recently starred in the Paramount+ series The Agency , alongside Michael Fassbender, Jeffrey Wright, and Richard Gere. The series drew strong reviews and has already been renewed for a second season. On top of that, she has just wrapped up work on the comedy Fackham Hall with Damian Lewis.
As for Garfield, his choice of roles continues to keep audiences intrigued. He’s represented by CAA and has steadily balanced mainstream and independent projects, often earning critical acclaim for his performances. His involvement here signals that this won’t just be a sweeping historical piece, but also a deeply character-driven story.
Focus Features, the distributor, has also been on a roll. Their recent festival lineup included Yorgos Lanthimos’ Bugonia with Emma Stone, and Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet with Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal. They’re clearly investing in bold, prestige projects — and this Greengrass epic fits right into that lane.
So, in short, we’ve got Andrew Garfield stepping into the shoes of a rebel leader, Katherine Waterston joining him, and Paul Greengrass once again preparing to deliver a gripping, large-scale drama. Production is set to kick off this fall, which means we won’t have to wait too long before the next Greengrass film starts to take shape.
This one is definitely shaping up to be a film fans will keep an eye on.
