Timothee Chalamet remains as in demand as ever after his Oscar nominated turn in this years, ‘ A Complete unknown’. But though he’s currently finishing a third Dune film a Timothee Chalamet heist film is next for him if reports of ‘High Side’ are anything to go by.
In High Side, Billy is a former MotoGP racer, haunted by a career-ending crash and a family legacy of abandonment, is drawn back into the world of high-speed risks and extreme danger. His estranged brother, already being pursued by the FBI, recruits him for a series of bank robberies on superbikes. A gifted motocross rider, Billy walked away from the sport after a devastating accident, and he has been making do caring for his addict father and the family garage. He’s blindsided when his estranged older brother Cole resurfaces—just after their father’s death—with a proposition: use Billy’s talents for something bigger. Robbing banks. Cole assembles a mismatched crew, including a woman who becomes Billy’s lover, and they begin knocking over small-town desert banks with speed and precision. But as the stakes rise, Lennox, an FBI agent with a complicated history with Cole, closes in as the crew preps its biggest score, a bank job timed with a big motorcycle parade. There are high-speed action and emotional twists and turns in the climax.
The film is rumoured to be directed by James Mangold who also helmed ‘A Complete unknown’
