Tyrant, Amazon MGM Studios' upcoming culinary thriller from David Weil, has added Demi Moore to star alongside Julia Garner and Charlize Theron. Besides helming, Weil is also writing the film, which is expected to go on floors in Los Angeles soon.
Plot details have been kept under wraps for now. However, the film is known to have shades of Wall Street and Whiplash and is set in New York City's high-end culinary world. Based on a story by Weil and Cody Behan, Tyrant is being backed by Theron through her Secret Menu banner alongside her partners Beth Kono and AJ Dix. Weil and producing partner Natalie Laine Williams are also backing. Alex Heineman and Andrew Rona are co-producing under The Picture Company.
Moore recently earned an Oscar nomination for 2024's The Substance and stars in Taylor Sheridan’s hit Paramount+ series Landman, which is entering its third season after her role expanded in Season 2. Up next, she appears with Keke Palmer and Naomi Ackie in Boots Riley’s Neon crime comedy I Love Boosters, fresh off its SXSW premiere.
