Tom Hardy and Mahershala Ali team for Cary Joji Fukunaga’s 77 Blackout

May 14, 2024 by EJ Moreno

Two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali is teaming up with Tom Hardy for 77 Blackout.

Cary Joji Fukunaga is set to direct the film, described as “a crime thriller set on the night when the city that never sleeps lost power and plunged into chaos and lawlessness.” The script comes from Frank John Hughes, and Fukunaga made revisions.

Per Deadline, the synopsis reads: In 1977, five rogue police officers formulate a plan to rob three criminal strongholds – the Hong Kong Triads, the Italian Mafia, and the Harlem Mob – all in one night. When a blackout sweeps the city the night of the robbery, the crew is forced to navigate a hellish landscape as years of being overworked and underpaid forces each of them to confront their own morality.

Cary Joji Fukunaga is best known for No Time to Die, the first season of True Detective, and Beasts of No Nation. Charles Roven will produce with Madison Weireter for Atlas Entertainment, and William Green and Aaron Ginsburg for The Cut.

Black Bear will introduce 77 Blackout to international buyers at the Cannes market, with WME repping U.S. rights. There’s no set release date or production timeline at the reporting time.
