Emile Hirsch Teaming Up With FREE SOLO Team for Rock Climbing Thriller IN TANDEM
Emile Hirsch (Into The Wild, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) is making his screenwriting debut with a rock climbing thriller titled In Tandem, which he will also star in. He is teaming up Oscar-winning director Jimmy Chin (Free Solo) who will be an executive producer.
The adventure film centers on “two former high school pals who reconnect at a rock-climbing gym. They decide to climb a real mountain together, despite the fact that they lack any real-world climbing experience. While dangling off the side of a cliff, their past conflicts begin to emerge, though they are forced to rely on one another to survive.”
The film is inspired by the 2017 documentary The Dawn Wall, which you should watch if you haven’t already! It’s a great and intense doc.
Hirsch’s script has been optioned by LA-based content creation company, Hirsch Giovanni Entertainment and Darius Shahmir (Midnight Special) will also produce the feature.
