Star Chris Evans (Marvel’s Captain America) has joined the cast of “Pain Hustlers”, joining Emily Blunt (“Jungle Cruise”) in the Netflix production.
The project was presented during this year’s Cannes Film Festival, where the plot was compared to “American Hustle” (2013), “The Wolf of Wall Street” (2013) and “The Big Short” (2015). The three films have in common plots of financial scams, told with a tone of sour humor by great directors.
The synopsis explains that “Pain Hustlers” revolves around Liza (Blunt), a woman looking for a comfortable life for her daughter, who starts working for a small pharmaceutical startup in Florida, United States. Both she and the company begin to grow and Liza finally enters high society. It turns out that, after getting rich, she realizes that she has been involved in a conspiracy that could be fatal.
The screenplay is by Wells Tower, who made his film debut but was once considered one of the most promising writers of his generation by the literary magazine The New Yorker. And the direction is entrusted to David Yates, in a rare project outside the “Harry Potter” franchise after seven films set in the universe of writer JK Rowling – between the last “Harry Potter” and the first “Fantastic Beasts”, he still did “The Legend of Tarzan” (2016).
After acquiring the rights for over $ 50 million from Netflix, production on the feature is expected to begin in August and there is no preview date yet.
