Hemsworth and Halle Berry Reveal First Footage for L.A. Heist Movie ‘Crime 101’
The stars joined director Bart Layton at CinemaCon to tease the feature that hopes to “capture L.A. in a way you might not have seen on film before.”
Star Chris Hemsworth and Oscar winner Halle Berry shed new light on Los Angeles with Crime 101.
Director Bart Layton joined his stars on stage at CinemaCon to show sneak peek of the film.
Rounding out the packed cast are Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan, Monica Barbaro, Corey Hawkins, Tate Donovan, Devon Bostick, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Nick Nolte.
“In the driver’s seat of this exciting ride is none other than our fearless director, Bart Layton,” Berry told the crowd about the movie that features Ruffalo as a detective attempting to track down those responsible for jewelry heists.
Hemsworth praised the “uniquely mesmerizing film, the kind that draws you into its world and keeps you in suspense in the last possible second.”
The trailer opens with Hemsworth’s character being asked what motivates him. “What motivates me? Well, money, I guess,” he replies bluntly.
Berry describes her job: “I write insurance policies for people who have more money than they know what to do with.”
Layton directed the film that he wrote, with Peter Straughan also contributing to the script. The movie is based on author Don Winslow’s novella of the same name.
Serving as producers are Eric Fellner and Tim Bevan for Working Title, and Layton and Dimitri Doganis for RAW.
CinemaCon is the annual event for exhibitors and Hollywood studios that runs this year from March 31 to April 3. It is presented by Cinema United (formerly the National Association of Theatre Owners).
