As a die-hard fan of Dev Patel, I am absolutely thrilled to hear that he will be starring in “The Journeyman“! With his rich and diverse acting background, from his Academy Award-nominated performance in “Lion” to his directorial debut with “Monkey Man”, Dev has shown time and again that he can handle any role thrown at him.
Dev Patel has been tapped to star in a new crime thriller movie titled The Journeyman.
In 2016, Patel was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars for his work in the movie Lion. Previously, he acted in films such as Slumdog Millionaire (2008), The Last Airbender (2010), The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2011), Chappie (2015), The Personal History of David Copperfield (2019), and The Green Knight (2021). More recently, he made his directorial debut with the film Monkey Man in 2024, where he also appeared as an actor.
Now, per Variety, Patel will play a professional tennis player in The Journeyman.
What do we know about The Journeyman with Dev Patel?
The film “The Journeyman” is being helmed by director Tarsem Singh, who has previously worked on movies like “Immortals” (2011), “Mirror Mirror” (2012), and “Self/less” (2015). The screenplay for this production is written by Bryan and Alexis Roberts, more commonly recognized as ‘The Roberts’.
The Tale of a Tennis Player on the Verge, as described by Variety, is about an individual grappling with professional tennis who gets drawn into a clandestine match-rigging scheme to help his family financially. However, he becomes ensnared in a merciless underworld of deceit and brutality from which it seems impossible to free himself.
In the production of the film, Scott Franklin, Stuart Ford, and Mason Eways serve as producers, with Shamier Anderson and Stephan James taking on roles as executive producers.
In Ford’s words, “The Roberts have penned a tense, gripping crime novel bursting with unexpected plots, making it an ideal match for an innovative director such as Tarsem and a talented producer of Scott’s stature. Tarsem’s exceptional visual style and extensive background working with elite athletes will bring a strikingly realistic portrayal of professional tennis to life, surpassing anything previously shown on the silver screen. For quite some time now, I’ve been eager to collaborate with Dev Patel, and this part promises him an excellent opportunity to showcase his acting skills.
A release date for The Journeyman has not yet been announced.
