Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller Set to Star High-Action Love Story THE GORGE For Apple TV+

Apple TV+ has has picked up the rights to a movie called The Gorge starring Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen’s Gambit, Last Night In Soho) and Miles Teller (Whiplash, Top Gun: Maverick). Scott Derrickson (Doctor Strange, The Black Phone) is on board to direct with Zach Dean penning the script, which he sold on spec to Skydance last year. In addition to starring, Teller will serve as executive producer on the film.

Plot details are being kept under wraps other then it being described as a high-action, genre-bending love story.

Deadline reports that the project gained some serious momentum this summer when Teller began eyeing it as his next film following the global success of his summer tentpole Top Gun: Maverick. Derrickson had been previously attached but was also weighing other projects following the success of one of the year’s biggest horror films, The Black Phone, but once Teller committed to the film, Derrickson was quick to name it his next directing job and the project was fast-tracked by Skydance.

This sounds like a really talented group of people bringing the story to the screen, so I look forward to hearing more. We will keep you posted as it develops.
