After wowing the audiences with her action avatar in the pirate thriller, 'The Bluff', Priyanka Chopra is now set to explore the survival thriller genre with her next Hollywood outing titled 'Reset'. Priyanka will lead the film alongside 'Pirates of the Caribbean' and 'Lord of the Rings' star Orlando Bloom.
Makers of 'Reset' announced this week that the survival thriller, directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Matt Smukler, will head into production in August. Written by Jordan Rawlins, Reset’s logline reads: A woman wakes up in the middle of the wilderness, far from civilization, with no memory of how she got there. Her only chance at survival is to trust a charming stranger who may not be who he says he is.
Talking about the casting process, director Matt Smukler said in a statement, “I was looking for a pairing where attraction and mistrust could effortlessly coexist. Priyanka and Orlando have this uncanny ability to make you believe both at once. Their chemistry is undeniable.”
'Reset' is produced by Jon Hoeber and Erich Hoeber under their Fratricidal Films banner, Michael Lazarovitch for Chemically Altered, and Matthew Rhodes of Rhodes Entertainment, along with Priyanka’s Purple Pebble Pictures and Orlando Bloom’s Amazing Owl. Nadine de Barros will executive produce.
