EXCLUSIVE: Saffron Hocking (Top Boy) is the newest addition to the cast of Fuze, the race-against-the-clock thriller that Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Theo James are leading for director David Mackenzie (Hell or High Water).
Details as to the role she’s playing are under wraps. As previously announced, others in the cast will include Sam Worthington, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Elham Ehsas and Honor Swinton-Byrne.
Currently in production in London, the film written by Ben Hopkins watches as a long-buried WWII bomb found in central London sparks a citywide evacuation. Gillian Berrie (Outlaw King) and Mackenzie are producing for Sigma Films, alongside Sebastien Raybaud (The End We Start From), and Callum Grant (Jackdaw) for Anton.
Anton is fully financing the film and will co-rep U.S. rights alongside UTA Independent Film Group and WME Independent, with Sky to release the film theatrically in the UK and Ireland.
Nominated for a BAFTA for her supporting role in the popular British crime drama series Top Boy from Netflix/Channel 4, Hocking has also been seen on series like Disney+/Marvel’s Moon Knight, Prime Video’s Riches, Acorn TV’s London Kills and Netflix/BBC’s White Gold, among others. Next up, the British up-and-comer will be seen starring opposite Tessa Thompson, Imogen Poots, Nina Hoss and more in Nia DaCosta’s Hedda, a reimagining of Henrik Ibsen’s classic 1891 stage drama Hedda Gabler from Amazon MGM Studios’ Orion Pictures.
Hocking is represented by Insight Management & Production in the UK and Anonymous Content.
