Ryan Reynolds And Kenneth Branagh To Star In Apple And Skydance’s Action-Adventure ‘Mayday’ With Jonathan Goldstein And John Francis Daley Directing
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Apple Original Films and Skydance are continuing to build on their strong ties with another star-studded project as sources tell Deadline the two are partnering on the action-adventure tentpole Mayday with Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh starring and Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley directing.
Sources tell Deadline the script has been done for some time, well before the Writers Strike started. The action-adventure feature is based on an original pitch from Goldstein and Daley, who came to Skydance earlier this year with the idea, and has been developing prior to Apple’s involvement.
Once Reynolds showed interest in April to join the pic, the project started gaining serious momentum and while a start date is still undetermined, seems likely this could be the next thing Reynolds shoots.
The logline is being kept under wraps. Hailing from a first-look partnership between Apple and Skydance Media, Mayday will be produced by Skydance’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Don Granger, alongside Reynolds, Ashley Fox, Johnny Pariseau and Patrick Gooing for Maximum Effort.
