Actor Orlando Bloom’s next, Retaliation (2020), is due to be released in the US on 24 July. The film will be released in India once theatres here reopen.
Retaliation, directed by brothers Ludwig Shammasian and Paul Shammasian, is a revenge drama that features Bloom as a demolition worker.
The feature is produced by Sheetal Talwar’s Vistaar Film Fund along with TeaShop & Film Company, in collaboration with Zee Studios International as co-producer.
Talwar shared her excitement over the film’s US release. She said, “Retaliation is a very special journey for us. The film is so relevant today and Orlando has done a fantastic job as expected from an actor of his calibre.
“We are waiting to see when theatres open here in India and a decision about the release would be taken after that,” she added. “In an ideal scenario, we would like a theatrical release though.”
Amit Goenka, CEO of Zee5 Global, said, “We at Zee are happy to back this project and hope that fans of Orlando Bloom enjoy him stepping into a different role.”
National award-winning filmmaker Bhavna Talwar and industry professional Bimal Parekh are executive producers on the project. The narrative of Retaliation deals with the harrowing subject of sexual abuse within a church.
Besides Bloom, the film stars Janet Montgomery, Charlie Creed-Miles and veteran actress Anne Reid. Watch the trailer below.
