The upcoming project, titled "Here Comes the Flood," is based on a script Netflix acquired back in 2020. While comedy star Jason Bateman was previously in talks to direct, the film's cast has now been finalized, featuring Denzel Washington, Robert Pattinson, and Daisy Edgar-Jones in starring roles. Simon Kinberg, known for his writing and producing work on the "X-Men" franchise, is attached as the screenwriter.
"Here Comes the Flood" is described by various international outlets as an unconventional heist film. Its plot centers on a deadly game of deception and betrayal involving a bank security guard, a teller, and a master thief, presented through a non-linear narrative structure.
