Priyanka Chopra Jonas is set to share screen space with Orlando Bloom in the upcoming survival thriller Reset, directed by Matt Smukler. The film is expected to go on floors in August and will centre on a gripping survival story filled with mystery, danger and distrust.

According to the film’s official synopsis, Reset follows a woman who wakes up alone in the wilderness with no memory of how she landed there. Stranded days away from civilisation, her only hope of survival depends on trusting a charming stranger who may not be telling the truth.

Opening up about casting Priyanka and Orlando, Smukler said in a statement, “I was looking for a pairing where attraction and mistrust could effortlessly coexist.”

The filmmaker further added that both actors possess an “uncanny ability to make you believe both at once. Their chemistry is undeniable.”

The screenplay for the film has been written by Jordan Rawlins. The project will be produced by Jon Hoeber and Erich Hoeber under Fratricidal Films, Michael Lazarovitch for Chemically Altered, and Matthew Rhodes for Rhodes Entertainment, alongside Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ Purple Pebble Pictures and Orlando Bloom’s Amazing Owl.

Priyanka was last seen in The Bluff and earlier starred alongside Idris Elba and John Cena in Heads of State.

She will next be seen in Season 2 of Citadel and also has SS Rajamouli's Varanasi in her lineup.

Meanwhile, Bloom was most recently seen in The Cut, which he also produced through Amazing Owl. He also featured in the action comedy Deep Cover and will next appear alongside Rooney Mara and Kate Mara in Bucking Fastard directed by Werner Herzog.
