Priyanka Chopra, Orlando Bloom to star in survival thriller

LOS ANGELES: Indian star Priyanka Chopra will be starring alongside Hollywood star Orlando Bloom in an upcoming survival thriller titled ‘Reset’ directed by Matt Smukler, who has previously helmed the coming-of-age comedy-drama Wildflower.

The film will head into production in August , reports deadline.com.

Reset follows a woman, who wakes up in the middle of the wilderness days from civilization with no memory of how she got there, finding that her only chance at survival is to trust a charming stranger, who may not be who he says he is.

On the casting process, Smukler said: “I was looking for a pairing where attraction and mistrust could effortlessly coexist.”

The filmmaker added that Priyanka and Orlando possess an “uncanny ability to make you believe both at once. Their chemistry is undeniable.”

Written by Jordan Rawlins, Reset will be produced by Jon Hoeber & Erich Hoeber under their Fratricidal Films banner, Michael Lazarovitch for Chemically Altered, and Matthew Rhodes of Rhodes Entertainment, along with Chopra Jonas’ Purple Pebble Pictures and Bloom’s Amazing Owl.
