Zachary Levi Set to Star in New Action Thriller HOTEL TEHRAN
Shazam! star Zachary Levi has joined a new action film project titled Hotel Tehran. The film will be helmed by Bunraku writer and director Guy Moshe. Levi takes on the role of Tucker, “who leads a unit of disgraced, war-torn ex-CIA operators into the heart of Tehran to take down a life-changing score.”
Moshe said in a statement: "Can't wait to collaborate with Zac on this. He's not only a great actor but also an insightful partner. We both share the same vision for what we hope and believe will be a special film beyond the confines of the genre."
Producer Marina Grasic added: "Zac and Guy are an ideal team! Zac is an incredibly talented actor and we know he will deliver a knockout performance."
Producer Matthew G. Zamias went on to say: "We are thrilled to announce Zac's casting in Astral Future's first film as a company. Guy is a rare and versatile filmmaker that I have collaborated with for many years, and this will be his most personal film to date. Our producing team has every confidence that he will execute standout action anchored in American realpolitik and the human condition."
Producer Wendy Sweetmore said: "We couldn't be more excited for Guy to bring this film to life, one that is very special for Baz and myself as it is inspired by rather intriguing CIA folklore yet steeped in authenticity,"
The script for Hotel Tehran is co-written by Moshe and Mark Bacci (Prisoner's Daughter), from an original idea by Bazzel Baz (The Blacklist).
