Callie Cooke, who played a pit stop tire gunner in Brad Pitt's racing movie F1, has been cast as the female lead in Warner Bros.' new action movie directed by Tim Miller, which stars Keanu Reeves.
Other actors joining the cast include Nicholas Duvernay, Steven Waddington, Abraham Popoola, Bobby Holland Hanton, and Anastasia Safonov.
Production on the film started this week.
The movie is set in and around the sea and was previously called Shiver when Warner Bros. acquired it last fall.
It is now just called the untitled Tim Miller/Keanu Reeves film. The film is shooting in the Dominican Republic using large water tanks for scenes set on the sea before moving to the UK.
Ian Shorr wrote the script for Shiver.
The film has been compared to Edge of Tomorrow, a Tom Cruise sci-fi movie about a soldier in a time loop during an alien invasion, and The Shallows, a Blake Lively movie about a shark survival story.
The story follows a smuggler (played by Keanu Reeves) who gets stuck in a time loop after being betrayed while on a job in the Caribbean Sea.
He finds himself surrounded by corpses, hostile mercenaries, and hungry sharks.
Callie Cooke plays the female lead, a scientist.
The other actors portray a range of characters including shipmates and mercenaries.
Matthew Vaughn, Aaron Ryder, Andrew Swett, and John Zaozirny are producing the film.
Scott Lumpkin is the executive producer.
Warner Bros. has set the release date for the film as August 13, 2027.
