The screenplay has been crafted by David Frigerio, William Eubank, and Carlyle Eubank, setting the stage for a captivating cinematic experience.
Recent Career Highlights
This announcement comes on the heels of another significant project for Chopra, who was recently confirmed to star alongside Orlando Bloom in the survival thriller Reset. Earlier this year, she made waves with The Bluff, which debuted at the top of the global charts on Prime Video. Additionally, she appeared in the action-comedy Heads of State, featuring Idris Elba and John Cena, which became Prime Video’s fourth most-watched film and received a nomination for Outstanding Television Movie at the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards. Chopra also earned a nomination for Best Actress in an Action Movie at the 2026 Critics Choice Super Awards for her role as Ercell Bodden in The Bluff. Looking ahead, she is set to star in S.S. Rajamouli’s action-adventure film Varanasi, scheduled for release on April 7, 2027.
Production Details of Bluefly
Bluefly is being produced by a talented team, including Michael Jefferson for Polite Society, David Frigerio for Broken Open Pictures, and Deborah Glover for G2 Dispatch, among others. Executive producers for the project include Lia Buman, Guy Davies, and RuthAnne Frigerio, to name a few. Highland Film Group will manage worldwide rights and is set to launch international sales at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Filming is expected to commence later this year on Australia’s Gold Coast.
The film’s narrative unfolds in the Congo, centering on a grieving United Nations translator who becomes embroiled in a covert mission to recover a mysterious aircraft that is officially deemed non-existent. Accompanied by a Special Operations team, the mission takes a perilous turn as they navigate militia-controlled territory, revealing that the truth behind the aircraft was never meant to be uncovered.
Insights from the Team
Highland Film Group CEO Arianne Fraser expressed her enthusiasm for the project, stating, “We have a stellar cast led by Russell Crowe and Priyanka Chopra Jonas who will ignite the screen in this high-stakes, sci-fi thrill ride with layers of depth, akin to Denis Villeneuve’s Arrival.” She added, “Bluefly is heart-pounding entertainment with a complex story full of unexpected twists. With Nimród Antal at the helm and our wonderful cast, we cannot wait to introduce this fantastic project to our global buyers.”
Director Nimród Antal also shared his excitement, saying, “Bluefly is an intense, character-driven thriller wrapped inside a bold science-fiction premise. It’s the kind of film I live to make — grounded, propulsive, and full of dread — and I couldn’t ask for a better cast or team to bring it to the screen.”
Russell Crowe, known for his Academy Award-winning role in Gladiator, continues to expand his filmography with various projects, while Priyanka Chopra Jonas remains a prominent figure in the global entertainment industry, balancing acting, production, and international ventures. Bluefly marks yet another significant milestone in her Hollywood journey.
