Timothée Chalamet and James Mangold Team Up for ‘High Side’

Timothée Chalamet is set to collaborate once again with acclaimed director James Mangold, this time for the upcoming film ‘High Side’, based on an unpublished short story by Jaime Oliveira. The project will be produced by Chernin Entertainment, with Paramount Pictures winning a competitive auction to secure the rights.

The narrative follows Billy, a former MotoGP racer whose career is cut short by a devastating crash. Haunted by his past and a family legacy marked by abandonment, he finds himself drawn back into a life of crime. According to the synopsis, his estranged brother Cole, who is being pursued by the FBI, recruits him for a series of high-stakes bank robberies, utilizing Billy’s exceptional motocross skills. The story promises a blend of high-speed action and emotional depth, as Billy navigates the challenges of his fractured family and the dangerous world of crime.

Production Insights and Commitment to Original Storytelling

Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein, the new co-chairs of Paramount Pictures, expressed their enthusiasm for the project, stating, “We’re thrilled to be in business with visionary artists like James and Timothée, and exceptional collaborators like Peter and David at Chernin. What Jaime has created reflects the kind of bold, original storytelling we’re committed to championing at Paramount, and we couldn’t be more excited to hit the ground running with ‘High Side.’”

Mangold echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the studio’s dedication to story-driven filmmaking. “Timothée is a trusted collaborator, a generational artist and a person I adore. I can’t wait to roll up my sleeves and work together again,” he noted.

As Chalamet prepares for this new venture, he is concurrently filming the third installment of ‘Dune’ and leading the project ‘Marty Supreme’ directed by Josh Safdie. The actor’s star power and dedication to diverse roles continue to make him a central figure in contemporary cinema.

A Track Record of Success

James Mangold brings a wealth of experience to ‘High Side’, having received eight Oscar nominations for his previous works, including ‘A Complete Unknown’. His impressive filmography features notable projects such as ‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny’, ‘Copland’, and ‘Girl Interrupted’.

In a recent interview with IndieWire, Mangold shared insights into his creative process, highlighting the importance of collaboration with fellow directors and adapting to unexpected challenges. “The one thing I can say consistently is that they may have a plan, but what we all do is if something better comes up, we jump on it and make it look like we thought of it,” he said. His candid approach to directing fosters an open environment for actors, allowing them to challenge the script and contribute creatively.

As the production of ‘High Side’ gears up, both Chalamet and Mangold remain committed to delivering a compelling narrative that resonates with audiences, combining thrilling action with profound character exploration. The film promises to be a noteworthy addition to the roster of upcoming cinematic releases.
