Liam Hemsworth is set to star in a new, “ruthless” erotic thriller, marking a significant genre shift for the actor. The film is penned by Paul Schrader, the legendary screenwriter behind the iconic 1976 film Taxi Driver, a gritty exploration of a troubled Vietnam veteran navigating the dark underbelly of New York City. Schrader, renowned for his intense and psychologically complex narratives, also wrote other acclaimed films such as Raging Bull and The Last Temptation of Christ, and has directed notable works like American Gigolo, which catapulted Richard Gere to stardom. This collaboration promises a dark, provocative, and potentially career-defining role for Hemsworth, delving into themes of desire, danger, and psychological manipulation under Schrader’s masterful, unflinching pen.
