Jeremy Strong Starring in Escape Thriller ‘The Passenger’ From Director Magnus von Horn, FilmNation Launching Sales in Cannes (EXCLUSIVE)

• Jeremy Strong in a new movie!
• It’s a historical escape thriller.
• A Swedish-Polish director is behind it.

Okay, you guys, we just saw this news and we had to share! Remember Jeremy Strong from *Succession*? The intense, always-in-a-suit guy? Well, he’s stepping into a totally different role.

He’s starring in a new film called ‘The Passenger.’ And get this, it’s a historical escape thriller. We can already picture the moody, maybe sepia-toned vibes of this one. Think hushed whispers and shadowy figures. It sounds like it could have a really gritty, almost painterly aesthetic.

The director is Magnus von Horn, who’s Swedish and Polish. This is his first big English-language film, and his last one got an Oscar nod! So, you know it’s going to be good.

FilmNation Entertainment is handling the sales, which means they’re taking it to Cannes to show it off. We’re already excited to see what this looks like on screen. It’s a fresh direction for Strong, for sure!

Our Take

We love seeing actors stretch their wings! Jeremy Strong is such a powerhouse, and a historical escape thriller sounds like the perfect vehicle for him to show a new side. We’re really curious about the director’s vision and how he’ll bring this story to life. Expect some serious tension!
