John Boyega and Robert De Niro to star in Netflix film ‘The Formula’
“The Formula” will be McMurray’s third feature and his follow-up to “The First Purge.”
"Star Wars" actor John Boyega and Robert De Niro will star together in a crime thriller called "The Formula" on Netflix.
McMurray will write and direct the movie while Robert De Niro will produce the movie along with Jane Rosenthal and Berry Welsh, reports Yahoo.
The movie centres on a Formula One racing prodigy who is forced to become a getaway driver to save the only family he has left.
Boyega, who broke out in the latest "Star Wars" trilogy, most recently starred in one of the five installments of Steve McQueen's "Small Axe" anthology, "Red, White and Blue."
De Niro recently joined the cast of David O Russell's untitled next film at New Regency, and he's attached to Martin Scorsese's "Killers of the Flower Moon."
"The Formula" will be McMurray's third feature and his follow-up to "The First Purge," which grossed nearly $70 million domestically for Universal in 2018. He first directed "Burning Sands" for Netflix back in 2017.
