Catalina Sandino Moreno and Néstor Carbonell have joined the high-profile cast of RIP, a crime thriller starring produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.
Joe Carnahan, the action and thriller director behind such fare as The Grey and Copshop, is helming the feature that already has Sasha Calle (The Flash) and singer-turned-actress Teyana Taylor on the call sheet. It begins production later this month in Miami and Los Angeles.
The feature is being produced by Artists Equity, the artist-led studio founded by Affleck and Damon. The duo are producing along with Luciana Damon and Dani Bernfeld for Artists Equity. Michael Joe and Kevin Halloran are exec producing for Artists Equity.
The crime thriller sees a team of Miami cops discovering millions in cash in a derelict stash house. Things are complicated by police rules requiring them to stay on location. As trust among the team begins to fray, outside forces learn about the millions at the house. This pressure put the cops in an impossible, and hostile, situation.
Moreno and Carbonell are playing members of the police force.
Moreno last starred in MGM+’s ensemble supernatural drama From and appeared opposite Joel Kinnaman in last year’s John Woo action movie Silent Night. The actress, who broke out with 2004’s Maria Full of Grace, is due next to appear in Lionsgate’s John Wick spinoff, Ballerina. She is repped by UTA, Lasher Group and Felker Toczek.
Carbonell was last seen on this year’s Emmy-winning Shogun, and is also part of the ensemble cast of Apple’s The Morning Show series. He is repped by IAG and Thruline Entertainment.
