Demi Moore Joins Tyrant Thriller From Amazon Opposite Charlize Theron

Demi Moore (Landman) is set for a key role alongside Charlize Theron and Julia Garner in Tyrant, Amazon MGM Studios‘ culinary thriller from writer-director David Weil, Deadline can confirm.

Shooting in Los Angeles with a California tax credit in a few weeks’ time, Tyrant‘s official logline is being kept under wraps. But the film is said to be a high-stakes thriller set within New York City’s elite fine-dining scene.

Weil adapted the script from a story he conceived with Cody Behan. The Picture Company partners Alex Heineman & Andrew Rona are producing along with Theron and her Secret Menu partners Beth Kono & A.J. Dix. Weil also will produce alongside producing partner Natalie Laine Williams, with Stan Wlodkowski serving as EP.
