Summary

- Jonathan Levine to direct, Damson Idris to produce and star.
- Film follows ex-cops hunting thief in Utah township.
Apple Original Films is developing a new feature film, 'Sacrament,' with Damson Idris attached to produce and star, and Jonathan Levine set to direct. This collaboration follows the global success of 'F1: The Movie.' The project, which is still in early development, is intended as a starring vehicle for Idris.
The film's script, penned by Enzo Mileti and Scott Wilson, centers on two former Chicago police officers who now work as contractors. They pursue a thief to a remote, fortified township in Sacrament, Utah. What begins as a standard assignment quickly transforms into a high-stakes conflict where the duo finds themselves outnumbered and outgunned.
Chernin Entertainment will produce the film through their first-look deal with Apple Studios. Producers include Peter Chernin, David Ready, Damson Idris via his Keep Quiet Productions, and Jonathan Levine and Gillian Bohrer through MegaMix. Idris is also currently filming 'Miles & Juliette' and has the Netflix series 'The Lords' Day.' Levine's upcoming sports drama 'Mr. Irrelevant' has generated significant buzz, even leading to an offer to direct Tom Cruise's sequel to 'Days of Thunder'.
