Priyanka Chopra Jonas Joins Russell Crowe for Sci-Fi Thriller ‘Bluefly’
Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Russell Crowe are starring in the sci-fi action thriller “Bluefly.” Directed by Nimród Antal, “Bluefly” is written by David Frigerio, William Eubank and Carlyle Eubank.
The movie is set deep in Congo, as a grieving UN translator is pulled onto a black-ops mission to recover a downed aircraft that isn't supposed to exist. A Special Operations team pushes upriver through militia-held territory and the recovery becomes a descent. The closer they get to the craft, the clearer it becomes that they were never meant to bring it home.
