Atlas Independent, the affiliate company of Charles Roven’s Atlas Entertainment, and William Monahan’s Henceforth Pictures today announced that Oscar Isaac (The Bourne Legacy) and Jason Clarke (Zero Dark Thirty) are set to star Monahan’s upcoming original thriller Mojave.
Monahan is directing the feature from his original screenplay and will produce alongside Atlas Independent’s William Green. Atlas’ Andy Horwitz and Henceforth Pictures’ Justine Suzanne Jones will executive produce. The plot is being kept under wraps.
Isaac most recently completed filming the lead role in the independent film Therese Raquin with Elizabeth Olsen and Jessica Lange, as well as Joel and Ethan Coen’s Inside Llewyn Davis.
Clarke can next be seen in a key role of Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of The Great Gatsby. He recently wrapped production on Terrence Malick’s Green Blade Rises and Roland Emmerich’s White House Down.
A dramatist, director and novelist, Monahan recently completed the screenplay for The Gambler for Martin Scorsese at Paramount, and Robert Rodriguez’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. He won an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for Scorsese’s The Departed.
