Taron Egerton (Carry-On, Kingsman: The Secret Service) and Charlize Theron (Monster, The Old Guard 2) were recently spotted filming on the set of their upcoming Netflix movie, Apex, in Sydney, Australia. In the film, the two face a brand-new challenge: a ruthless game of cat and mouse set in the unforgiving landscape of the Australian wilderness.
In the images, Theron was seen handcuffed to a canoe while Taron paddled the boat. According to Netflix, the film follows “a grieving woman who seeks solace in the wilderness, only to find herself ensnared in a deadly game of cat and mouse with a serial killer.”
Directed by Baltasar Kormákur from a screenplay by Jeremy Robbins.
What is the Plot of Apex?
Apex follows a grieving woman goes into the wild for peace but gets caught in a deadly game with a killer.
The film’s rugged landscapes will be captured in New South Wales, Australia, home of the Blue Mountains. “For a film like Apex — where the elements and the terrain are characters that loom just as large as the movie stars battling in it — no other country in the world could have taken the place of Australia as our primary location,” Kormákur says. “The unrivaled landscape, studio facilities, and talented crews in New South Wales have been a boon to this production. I want to thank the people of NSW, the NSW government, and The Australian Government’s Location Offset for all the support we’ve received in making this journey possible.”
Speaking to Netflix Tudum, Kormákur said, “I couldn’t be more excited to start production on Apex.” Kormákur added, “Working in the rugged, beautiful terrains of Australia with three of the world’s most talented, dedicated actors in Charlize Theron, Taron Egerton, and Eric Bana is such a joy — even as I put them through the gauntlet in this unique survivor story.”
The film stars Theron, Egerton, and Eric Bana (Hulk, Untamed).
The film is produced by Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, and David Ready for Chernin Entertainment; Ian Bryce for Ian Bryce Productions; and Theron, Beth Kono, and AJ Dix for Secret Menu. Baltasar Kormákur produces for RVK Studios. The executive producers are Ray Angelic, Will McCance, and Dawn Olmstead for Secret Menu.
The release date for Apex has not yet been revealed.
