The Virtuoso (Anthony Hopkins, Anson Mount, Abbie Cornish)

[Himmel]

Oscar-winner Anthony Hopkins (King Lear, Thor: Ragnarok), Anson Mount (Star Trek: Discovery, Inhumans), and Abbie Cornish (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan) are set to star in The Virtuoso, a noir thriller directed by Nick Stagliano. Stagliano’s Nazz Productions financed and produced the film, which will be presented to buyers at Cannes.

Written by James C. Wolf, with revisions by Stagliano, the story follows a professional assassin (Mount) who must track down and kill his latest target to satisfy an outstanding debt to his mentor (Hopkins). Unlike his other “jobs,” this assignment offers precious little information. He’s given no name or photo, only that his target will be in a rustic diner in a dying town at 5:00 PM. Bound by obligation, the Virtuoso embarks on a manhunt to find his prey and accomplish the mission. Any one of the patrons in the diner could be the mark, even the enigmatic waitress (Cornish) who, even if she’s not the prey, could prove to be a distraction that threatens to derail his task, and endanger his life.
