Continuing her remarkable career resurgence, Demi Moore signs on for the new culinary thriller Tyrant along with Charlize Theron and Julia Garner.
Black broke the news exclusively, reporting that Moore has accepted a key role in the high-stakes film set in New York City’s elite fine dining scene.
David Weil, known for the Amazon series Hunters and Invasionwill write and direct, working from a script he developed with Cody Behan.
Production is expected to begin within weeks in Los Angeles, after securing a California Film Tax Credit.
The film will be produced by Theron along with her Secret Menu partners Beth Kono and AJ Dix, as well as The Picture Company’s Alex Heineman and Andrew Rona.
Weil is producing with partner Natalie Laine Williams, with Stan Wlodkowski serving as executive producer.
Moore arrives at this project on the back of one of the strongest periods of her career.
Her performance in the substance, in which she played a fading star who takes a mysterious drug to regain her youth, earned her a Golden Globe and a Critics Choice Award, as well as an Oscar nomination.
She will next be seen in Boots Riley’s I love boosters in late May, and is currently starring in the top-rated Taylor Sheridan series Farmer.
