Rosamund Pike set as lead for pandemic thriller ‘Rich Flu’
LOS ANGELES: British star Rosamund Pike will headline the upcoming pandemic thriller movie “Rich Flu”.
Spanish director Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia will helm the movie from a script by Pedro Rivero and Gaztelu-Urrutia, as per The Hollywood Reporter.
The project is backed by “Spencer” director Pablo Larrain and Juan de Dios Larrain’s Fabula banner.
“Rich Flu” sees a strange disease killing off some of the richest and most influential people on the planet starting with the billionaires, then the multi-millionaires and so on progressively.
“Now it threatens to strike anyone with any sort of fortune, and no one knows where it might end.
With the whole planet panicking and humankind’s very way of life headed for collapse, people attempt to flood the market with assets the world no longer wants.
“The thriller explores how far one would go to save their skin when the wealth that made the world go round suddenly becomes its most dangerous commodity,” the official plotline read.
The movie is also produced by Adrian Guerra and Nuria Valls for Nostromo Pictures along with Carlos Juarez, Gaztelu-Urrutia and Albert Soler.
It will start production later this year.
Pike, known for films such as “Gone Girl” and “I Care A Lot”, most recently featured in Amazon series “The Wheel of Time”.
