Lily James hunts Chris Hemsworth in Amazon thriller ‘Subversion'
Lily James is set to star alongside Chris Hemsworth in Subversion, a high-tension submarine thriller produced by Amazon MGM Studios. The film casts Hemsworth as a disgraced naval commander forced into a smuggling operation while pursued by a determined Coast Guard officer, played by James. The film promises psychological intensity and claustrophobic action as loyalties blur in open waters. Hemsworth's character is blackmailed by a cartel-like organisation into piloting a submarine filled with illegal cargo through international seas. James's officer is hot on his trail, locked into a high-stakes game of pursuit and evasion. With the crew's loyalty fraying and danger mounting from all sides, the line between predator and prey starts to vanish. Directed by 7500's Patrick Vollrath and written by Andrew Ferguson, the film aims to bring gritty realism to the genre. Lorenzo di Bonaventura produces the project, with Stephen Shafer and Greg Cohen serving as executive producers under di Bonaventura Pictures. James's casting continues her momentum in a slate filled with diverse roles. After earning critical acclaim for Pam & Tommy, she returns with major titles including Relay opposite Riz Ahmed and Swiped, a Hulu film inspired by Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd. She's also involved in Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo, Harmonia, and the upcoming reboot of Cliffhanger, solidifying her position as one of the most versatile British actresses in current cinema. Amazon is reportedly banking on the magnetic pairing of Hemsworth and James to deliver a global hit. While a release date hasn't been revealed, early buzz suggests Subversion will make waves for its suspense, star power, and underwater thrills.
