Guy Pearce Joins Alex Pettyfer, Maria Pedraza, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje in Erotic Thriller ‘Blurred’

Fresh from his Oscar and BAFTA nominations for his supporting role in “The Brutalist,” Guy Pearce has joined Alex Pettyfer (“Magic Mike,” “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare”), Maria Pedraza (“Money Heist”) and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (“Suicide Squad,” “His Dark Materials”) in the erotic thriller “Blurred.”

The film — set in New York’s fashion world — was written and directed by Ben Cookson (“Waiting for Anya”) and wrapped last summer in the U.K. Pia Patatian’s Cloud9 Studios (formerly Concord Studios) is handling international rights and will be showing footage to buyers at a private presentation at the European Film Market.

“Blurred” is produced by Pettyfer and James Ireland for Dark Dreams Entertainment and Yariv Lerner (“Hellboy,” “Rambo: Last Blood”) for Film Forage, and executive produced by Patatian for Cloud9 Studios.

“’Blurred’ has been an incredible journey — one that has taken years of work, creativity, and passion,” said Ireland and Pettyfer. “Collaborating with such exceptional talent, both in front of and behind the camera, has been nothing short of inspiring. This film is a testament to the power of storytelling, and we cannot wait to finally share it with the world.”

“’Blurred’ is a smart and sexy thriller with a brilliant cast led by Alex Pettyfer who is joined by Guy Pearce,” said Patatian. “Set against the hustle and flow of New York’s fashion world, it’s a beautiful, raw and intense thrill ride and we cannot wait to introduce this fantastic project to buyers in Berlin.”
