Juno Temple joins Doug Liman’s Everest movie

September 13, 2021 by Gary Collinson

Ted Lasso star Juno Temple has signed on to portray Ruth Mallory, the wife of Ewan McGregor’s George Mallory, in Everest, an adventure thriller from director Doug Liman (Edge of Tomorrow). The official synopsis for the film reads:

1921. Everest remains the very last great unconquered challenge on earth. Many have sacrificed their sanity and often their lives in the attempt to reach its fabled summit. George Mallory (McGregor) is picked by the arrogant Arthur Hinks (Strong) of the Royal Geographic Society to scale the impossible. Following the First World War, the fading British Empire is desperate for a restorative victory, but for Mallory and his rival, the eccentric Aussie George Finch (Heughan), the challenge of Everest has nothing to do with patriotism, instead it is a singular test of self.

Climbing without oxygen, to heights not even planes can reach, Mallory‘s successive attempts to make the summit sees a challenge become an all-consuming obsession. It leads him to abandon his beloved wife and three children for months on end, give up his job, and push his body to the limits of human endurance. Everest becomes a very real monster for Mallory, his 45 degree climb to the peak is an inhuman mix of vertigo and nerve-shredding tension, requiring all of his fearlessness and audacity. It takes everything from him for reasons he can barely articulate: because it’s grander than him, it’s the last empty part of the map, and as he simply puts it – ‘because it’s there’.

Everest is targeting a 2023 release date, and will see McGregor and Temple joined in the cast by Mark Strong and Sam Heughan. Filming is set to get underway in the UK and Italy in January.
