In a recent development, Rebecca Ferguson has signed on to star alongside Chris Pratt in the upcoming sci-fi thriller, Mercy, produced by Amazon MGM Studios. The film, directed by Timur Bekmambetov and written by Marco van Belle, follows Pratt's character, a detective in a future where crime rates are soaring. He is falsely accused of a violent crime and must prove his innocence.
The project was brought to Amazon MGM Studios by producer Charles Roven and will be co-produced by Robert Amidon, Bekmambetov, and Majd Nassif. Production is set to begin in spring 2024, with plans for a worldwide theatrical release.
Following Amazon's acquisition of MGM Studios for $8.45 billion, the studio has been making a significant push into theatrical films. This move comes after the success of Dune: Part Two, in which Ferguson also stars. Known for her roles in various films and TV shows, Ferguson's addition to Mercy adds to the anticipation surrounding the project.
Chris Pratt, famous for his role as Star-Lord in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, will lead the cast of Mercy. His diverse filmography includes hits like Wanted, Moneyball, and The Lego Movie.
With a talented cast and crew on board, Mercy promises to be an exciting addition to the sci-fi thriller genre. Fans can look forward to an engaging storyline and top-notch performances from the ensemble cast.
