Rupert Wyatt Set To Direct Heist Thriller BOXMAN

Rise of the Planet of the Apes director Rupert Wyatt is set to direct the heist thriller titled Boxman. The film is based on a Black List screenplay written by screenwriter Adam Yorke.

The story takes place after “a botched bank heist leaves 19 people locked inside a state-of-the-art vault, and the FBI recruits the world’s foremost box man from federal prison so he can break them out before they suffocate inside.”

That sounds like it’ll be quite an intense situation! This story should make for a solid movie.

Boxman will be produced by Ben Pugh, Josh Varney, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, and Fred Berger. Casey Durant and AJ Bourscheid will executive produce for Range.

Wyatt’s other film credits include The Escapist, The Raven, and The Gambler. He most recently served as executive producer of the Apple TV+ series Mosquito Coast.
