Timothee Chalamet and A Complete Unknown director James Mangold are potentially collaborating again on an exciting new venture!

On Monday, August 4, reports surfaced revealing that the 29-year-old SAG-winning actor and the 61-year-old Oscar-nominated filmmaker are engaged in discussions to join forces once more. This time, they are looking to develop a captivating project inspired by the unpublished motocross heist short story <em>High Side</em>, penned by the talented Jaime Oliveira.

Keep reading to discover further details about this thrilling project…In High Side, we follow the story of Billy, a former MotoGP racer whose life has been marred by a devastating crash that ended his racing career and a family legacy filled with abandonment. Despite his troubled past, Billy finds himself drawn back into a world fraught with high-speed risks and extreme dangers. His estranged brother, who is already on the FBI’s radar, approaches him with a dangerous proposition: to join him in a series of high-stakes bank heists utilizing superbikes. Having distanced himself from the sport after a life-altering accident, Billy has been focused on caring for his addicted father and managing their family garage. His world is turned upside down when Cole, his estranged older brother, reappears just after their father’s passing, presenting him with an audacious plan: use Billy’s exceptional skills for a greater purpose—bank robbery, as reported by Deadline.

“Cole gathers a diverse crew, which includes a woman who becomes a romantic interest for Billy, and they embark on a series of meticulously planned heists targeting small-town desert banks. However, as their criminal endeavors escalate, they attract the attention of Lennox, an FBI agent with a complicated history involving Cole. As the crew prepares for their most ambitious score—a bank heist synchronized with a major motorcycle parade—the tension mounts, leading to high-speed chases and emotional revelations in the thrilling climax.”

Chernin Entertainment is set to produce this gripping narrative, while Sugar23, the agency representing Jaime Oliveira, is actively pitching the project within both Hollywood and publishing circles, generating buzz around this promising collaboration.
