Taron Egerton Set To Star in Crime Thriller SHE RIDES SHOTGUN
Taron Egerton (Kingsman, Tetris) is set to star in a crime thriller film titled She Rides Shotgun, and it’s based on the novel of the same name that was written by crime author Jordan Harper.
Egerton takes on the role of Nate, “a recently-released felon who has made a number of dangerous enemies. After he finally gets out of jail, he vows to make a fresh start, which means cutting off the powerful gang he was working for behind bars. When they vow to get revenge by coming after his family, Nate goes on the run with the 11-year-old daughter he hardly knows, Polly.”
As they go on a desperate ride to shake off Nate’s enemies, “Polly must learn to survive – and Nate watches her transform from a timid girl into an impressive force. Meanwhile, her ex-con father learns to love unconditionally.”
The movie is being directed by Nick Rowland (Calm With Horses) from a script written by Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski (The Night House). This seems like it will be a good project for Egerton as it’s something a little different from anything he’s done before.
Producer Brad Weston said in a statement: “We are so excited to bring this adaptation of Jordan Harper’s hugely successful and completely gripping novel to the big screen. Taron Egerton is a remarkable performer, and we are so excited to be working with Nick Rowland, who is going to bring a real depth to their relationship.”
Production on the film is set to begin in early 2024.
