Dev Patel has been set to make his feature directing debut with action revenge pic Monkey Man. The Oscar nominee will also star in the film, with Endeavor Content launching sales at this week’s American Film Market. Thunder Road’s Basil Iwanyk is producing with Xeitgeist’s Joe Thomas (The Man Who Knew Infinity, Hotel Mumbai), Samarth Sahni (Hotel Mumbai) and Patel. Production is set to start in spring 2019 in Mumbai. The script is by Patel, Paul Angunawela and John Collee (Hotel Mumbai, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World) and was developed with the assistance of S’ya Concept.

Set in contemporary India, Monkey Man follows the Kid (Patel) who emerges from prison to take on a world enmeshed in corporate greed and eroding spiritual values. Iwanyk calls it a “vibrant, thrilling and above all entertaining story.”

Action sequences will be choreographed and designed by 87Eleven (the John Wick movies, Atomic Blonde). It and Old Boy‘s Chung-hoon Chung will serve as director of photography

Slumdog Millionaire breakout Patel won a BAFTA for 2016’s Lion, also scoring Oscar and Golden Globe nominations. He recently completed filming The Personal History of David Copperfield starring Tilda Swinton and Hugh Laurie, and will next be seen in Hotel Mumbai and The Wedding Guest, both releasing in 2019. He’s repped by WME, Magnolia, Curtis Brown Group and Jamie Feldman.

Very intrigued. Love Dev.

Never really considered Patel much of an action presence, so it'll be interesting to see play out.

I really hope they somehow work this song into the movie/trailer.

NARMAK · 10-29-2018, 09:00 PM

Nowhere in the plot outline do i really see anything about where "action" will play a role.

Long wait, looking forward to it.

Still need to check out The Wedding Guest, another Patel actioner. But more curious to see how he fares as a director, and an action director at that.

Damn this looks tight. Closer to the Raid cinematography, nice and close and bloody. Dig it.Plus Dev looks dope and is vying hard for a chance at Bond.

levcore · 01-26-2024, 05:01 PM

Oh this looks awesome, stunning visuals and looks to be full of colourful and interesting characters. Action looks very slick too.

I'd say Dev isn't monkeying around.
