Theo James Joins Aaron Taylor-Johnson in Upcoming Thriller ‘Fuze’
David Mackenzie to Direct Heist Film Set Amid WWII Bomb Scare
Theo James, known for his roles in *The Gentlemen* and *The White Lotus*, has been cast alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the new film *Fuze*, directed by David Mackenzie. Filming is scheduled to begin in early July.
Written by Ben Hopkins, *Fuze* kicks off with the discovery of an unexploded World War II bomb at a London construction site, triggering a mass evacuation that provides the perfect opportunity for a high-stakes heist.
The film is being produced by Gillian Berrie (*Outlaw King*, *Tetris*) for Sigma Films, and Sebastien Raybaud (*The End We Start From*, *Greenland*) along with Callum Grant (*Jackdaw*, *Cleaner*) for Anton. Anton is fully financing the project, while UTA Independent Film Group and WME Independent will co-represent the US rights alongside Anton.
James, an Emmy Award nominee for his performance in HBO’s *The White Lotus*, is currently featured in Guy Ritchie’s *The Gentlemen* on Netflix. His upcoming projects include the feature film adaptation of Stephen King’s *The Monkey*, which was acquired by Neon after a heated bidding war at the Cannes market. James is also widely recognized for his portrayal of Tobias “Four” Eaton in the *Divergent* film series and starred in the 2022 period drama *Mr. Malcolm’s List* with Freida Pinto, Sope Dirisu, and Zawe Ashton.
