Timothée Chalamet to Star in Motocross Heist Movie HIGH SIDE Reuniting Him With A COMPLETE UNKNOWN Director James Mangold

The latest acquisition for Paramount comes in the form of a highly sought-after package that reunites two-time Oscar nominee, Timothée Chalamet and five-time Oscar nominated writer and director, James Mangold. They previously collaborated on the lauded Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown. Now, the pair are working on High Side, starring Chalamet and directed by Mangold.

The film is based on an original story by Jaimie Oliveira, who will also adapt the script. The story is described as “Heat” meets “Hell or High Water.” Chalamet will play a former Motocross racer, haunted by a career-ending crash and a long history of abandonment in a broken family. His estranged brother draws him back on the bike and into danger for a series of bank robberies as the FBI closes in on the pair.

“We’re thrilled to be in business with visionary artists like James and Timothée, and exceptional collaborators like Peter and David at Chernin. What Jaime has created reflects the kind of bold, original storytelling we’re committed to championing at Paramount – and we couldn’t be more excited to hit the ground running with ‘High Side,’” said Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein, the new co-chairs of Paramount Pictures.
