Tom Holland And Austin Butler Are Teaming Up For A Race Car Movie, And This Sounds Like A High-Octane Idea

by

As a seasoned gamer and movie enthusiast who has seen his fair share of Hollywood blockbusters, I can confidently say that the upcoming film “American Speed” starring Tom Holland and Austin Butler is shaping up to be a thrilling ride. The story of brothers-turned-race car drivers embroiled in scandal sounds like a recipe for an action-packed, suspenseful movie, and with these two talented actors at the helm, I’m already hooked.

Two rising stars in Hollywood, Tom Holland and Austin Butler, are captivating audiences separately. A potential blockbuster would be even more thrilling if it featured both of them. Remarkably, such a movie seems imminent, and the plot promises an adrenaline rush: these talented actors will portray racing brothers on screen.

Producer Charles Roven’s latest movie, titled American Speed, has been acquired by Amazon MGM Studios, as reported by Deadline. This film tells the story of the Whittington Brothers, renowned for their racing skills. In the 1980s, two of these brothers were embroiled in a scandal that led to accusations of money laundering and drug trafficking, allegedly used to fund their racing endeavors.

Dan Wiedenhaupt, known for crafting the prehistoric tale “Alpha” – the ‘Boy and his dog’ movie, is currently working on the screenplay. This promising plot line is bound to catch the attention of many cinema-goers, especially with its star-studded cast of two rising stars.

Austin Butler And Tom Holland Are Two Stars In High Demand

Austin Butler’s fame has escalated significantly following his Oscar nomination for Elvis. At present, he’s set to feature in upcoming films directed by Ari Aster and Darren Aronofsky. Furthermore, there have been whispers about his potential roles in big-budget productions like the next Pirates of the Caribbean film and Disney’s live-action adaptation of Hercules. Even if these rumors don’t materialize, the mere fact that Butler is being linked to such high-profile projects demonstrates his standing in Hollywood.

Tom Holland’s acting career continues to flourish remarkably. As he prepares for his role in the upcoming “Spider-Man 4,” with Destin Daniel Cretton replacing Jon Watts as director, he is also set to act alongside Matt Damon in Christopher Nolan’s next production. Despite being synonymous with Spider-Man for many, Holland has skillfully steered clear of complete typecasting and taken on various roles beyond the realm of superheroes.

American Speed’s Theatrical Prospects

The outcome is still uncertain whether the movie titled “American Speed” will hit the big screen or be streamed online. Conversely, another Amazon MGM/Roven project, “Mercy“, featuring Chris Pratt, has been scheduled for a theater release the following summer. Interestingly, Amazon chose to screen the Dwayne Johnson Christmas film “Red One” in cinemas, but declined to do so for the “Road House” remake, an action that sparked criticism from the movie’s director.

Undoubtedly, a film featuring heavyweights like Butler and Holland, such as “American Speed“, would likely warrant a grand theatrical debut. At present, the key piece that’s yet to fall into place is a director. However, with talent of this caliber, it’s unlikely that there will be a dearth of potential directors eager to take up the challenge.
