‘Here Comes the Flood,’ Fernando Meirelles
Netflix paid seven figures for Simon Kinberg’s spec script in 2020 for a film that Jason Bateman was once attached to direct.
The long-gestating heist thriller, told in nonlinear fashion, has finally come together under City of God director Fernando Meirelles.
My Oscar Book:
Multiple Oscar winner Denzel Washington, Daisy Edgar-Jones and Robert Pattinson star in the tale of a bank guard, a teller and a master thief locked in a deadly game of cons and double crosses.
Danai Gurira, Sean Harris and Justin Kirk are in supporting roles.
The film was shot in New Jersey through late January, with Meirelles reuniting with his City of God cinematographer César Charlone.
Netflix hasn’t dated Here Comes the Flood yet, nor revealed whether it will be positioned as potential awards contender or a commercial play with high-caliber cast.
