Get ready for an intense cinematic experience as the iconic Angelina Jolie steps into the spotlight once again! In a thrilling new project, Jolie is set to star in and produce 'Sunny,' a gripping thriller directed by the talented Eva Sørhaug. But here's where it gets intriguing... Jolie's character is a female gangster, a far cry from her usual roles, and she's on a mission to save her sons from a ruthless drug lord.
The film delves into the dark underbelly of the criminal world, reminiscent of classic mafia movies. As Jolie's character battles against an abusive kingpin, a shocking event leaves her with a ticking clock to secure her family's freedom. With a story conceived by William Day Frank and Sørhaug, the script promises a heart-pounding race against time.
Nickel City's Mark Fasano praises Jolie's performance, hinting at a powerful portrayal that will leave audiences stunned. He teases a violent yet family-centric narrative, raising the question: How far will a mother go to protect her children? And this is where the controversy might spark—is a mother's love a valid justification for extreme actions?
Gramercy Park's Nathan Klingher echoes the sentiment, emphasizing Jolie's unique interpretation of the role. He highlights the rarity of such character-driven thrillers, making 'Sunny' a highly anticipated gem in the film industry.
Jolie's recent accolades for her role as Maria Callas in 'Maria' further cement her versatility. With upcoming films like 'Couture,' 'Anxious People,' and a reunion with Doug Liman in 'The Initiative,' her career trajectory remains captivating.
Eva Sørhaug, a rising Norwegian filmmaker, brings her psychological thriller expertise to the table. Her work on '90 Minutes' and TV shows like 'Tokyo Vice' and 'Yellowjackets' showcases her ability to craft gripping narratives.
'Sunny' is a collaboration between Gramercy Park Media, A Higher Standard, and Nickel City Pictures, with worldwide sales handled by A Higher Standard and WME Independent.
