BeforeChris Hemsworthdons the cape and swings the Stormbreaker inAvengers: Doomsday, the actor has signed on to take a deep dive into the ocean forPatrick Vollrath’s submarine thriller titled,Subversion, which is greenlit at Amazon MGM. The movie, eyeing a fall production start in Australia, is described as a “Die Hardon a submarine” style thriller. Vollrath will direct from a script written byAndrew Ferguson, whose scripts usually land on the Black List, with one titledBlood Rushalso in development at Amazon.
The story will followa once-promising Naval commander (Hemsworth) who is blackmailed into piloting a dangerous submarine carrying illegal cargoacross international waters by a cartel-like operation. When he’s thrust into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, “the man must outmaneuver blockades and navigate perilous threats both in and outside of the submarine.”
Vollrath has proven his mettle with previous credits like7500, starringJoseph Gordon-Levittas a pilot stuck in his cockpit. With a contained premise of a submarine and Hemsworth assumingly going up against bad guys while on it (likeDie Hard), sounds like a delicious opportunity for impeccable action.
