Orlando Bloom to star in psychological thriller The Cut

Actor Orlando Bloom is set to headline the upcoming psychological thriller The Cut. The actor will play the role of a retired boxer who chooses to suspend his retirement so as to defend his championship title.

Besides starring, Orlando will also be the executive producer of the film.

While describing Orlando's character, the report by Collider described he is a determined person to hold his title "through a grueling and unsanctioned weight cut program with a coach who knows no limits, alienating himself from reality and loved ones, as he spirals out of control." The makers are yet to announce other cast members. The Cut will go on floors in Nevada from summer and will be launched by The Exchange of the European Film Market.

The Cut is helmed by Sean Ellis with Justin Bull penning the screenplay. The story is by Mark Lane. "We are beyond thrilled to represent this project. Sean’s track record as an inventive and dynamic director, coupled with Orlando’s planned full-body transformation, promise an incredible cinematic ride," said Nat McCormick of The Exchange.
