It follows a crew of social media-savvy bank robbers that broadcast their daring heists online, unaware that their growing fame has put them in the crosshairs of a veteran FBI agent and a brilliant software engineer.
Starring Nicholas Hoult, Zoë Kravitz, Anna Sawai, Rhenzy Feliz, Pete Davidson and John C Reilly, the movie takes inspiration from the current era of content creation, especially the livestream scene.
Director David Leitch spoke about how the idea came from his urge to have a fresh take on heist films and to create something he felt would stand out.
“We all sort of consume this new sort of media right now,” he said in an interview.
“I think a lot of it I get fed through my algorithm, but some of it I seek out and find really fun. My goal was to do something, hopefully, that was original and sort of risky and dangerous,” he added.
The American filmmaker’s previous projects include Atomic Blonde (2017), Deadpool (2018) and The Fall Guy (2024).
His upcoming project titled Jason Statham Stole My Bike, features the popular actor as a fictional version of himself, and is set to release next year.
