[EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK! Alexander Skarsgård and Jesse Eisenberg in #TheHummingbirdProject via @screendaily [x] 📸 Sébastien Raymond
This exclusive first look at The Hummingbird Project shows Jesse Eisenberg and Alexander Skarsgård as cousins Vincent and Anton. Kim Nguyen’s drama is shooting now through mid-December in Quebec.
Michael Mando and Salma Hayek round out the cast.
HanWay handles international sales; CAA handles US and Elevation Pictures will release in Canada. Nguyen (War Witch) has assembled a team of his longtime collaborator including DoP Nicolas Bolduc and production designer Emmanuel Frechette. Canada’s Item 7 produces with Belgium’s Belga Productions. Brian Kavanaugh-Jones and Fred Berger of Automatik serve as executive producers.
ETA - from @theplaylistfilm:
In this modern epic, Kim Nguyen exposes the ruthless edge of our increasingly digital world. Cousins from New York, Vincent (Eisenberg) and Anton (Skarsgård) are players in the high-stakes game of High Frequency Trading, where winning is measured in milliseconds. Their dream? To build a fibre-optic cable straight between Kansas and New Jersey, making them millions. But nothing is straightforward for this flawed pair. Anton is the brains, Vincent is the hustler, and together they push each other and everyone around them to breaking point on their quixotic adventure. Constantly breathing down their necks is their old boss Eva Torres (Hayek) a powerful, intoxicating and manipulative trader who will stop at nothing to come between them and beat them at their own game. No matter what the cost, Vincent and Anton are determined to cut through America, only to find redemption at the end of their line, not through money, but through family and reconnecting to the land.
“The Hummingbird Project” is now shooting in Quebec with filming to wrap in mid-December. It seems safe to pencil it in for a fall festival debut in 2018. [x]
