‘Rye Lane’ Director Raine Allen-Miller Plotting London Heist Comedy ‘The Roots Manoeuvre’ With Amazon MGM’s Orion Pictures, Plan B (EXCLUSIVE)
'Rye Lane' director Raine Allen-Miller has set her second film 'The Roots Manouevre' with Amazon MGM Studios, Plan B, DJ Films and BBC Film on board.
Raine Allen-Miller, the British filmmaker who turned heads with her hugely acclaimed — and two-time BAFTA-nominated — 2023 debut feature “ Rye Lane,” is readying her sophomore film, Variety can reveal. From a script by Allen-Miller, “The Roots Manœuvre” follows a young woman who orchestrates a daring heist to recover a stolen artifact, covering her tracks by managing the whirlwind of a luxury wedding. After making his big screen debut in “Rye Lane,” the film’s other co-lead David Jonsson has become a hugely in-demand talent, winning plaudits for “Alien: Romulus” and landing roles in both Frank Ocean’s directorial debut and Colman Domingo’s upcoming “Love Affair,” in which he’ll play Sammy Davis Jr. alongside Sydney Sweeney as Kim Novak.
