Michelle Yeoh Boards 30West’s Action Pic ‘The Mother’; AGC & CAA Selling – EFM

Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh has boarded the action thriller The Mother.

The Mélanie Laurent (Galveston, Tomorrow, Breathe) action thriller is based on the screenplay by P.G. Cuschieri and follows an immigrant mother and businesswoman, Ann, who’s attempting to make the best of her new life in America with her family. When her two teenage sons stumble into trouble with a Boston dirty cop and a crime ring, the mother has no choice but to rekindle her past and will stop at nothing until they are safe.

Production is beginning this summer on the 30West financed production.

AGC International and CAA Media Finance represent the film’s worldwide distribution rights and will introduce the film to buyers at the upcoming EFM.

Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee will produce through Thunder Road (John Wick Franchise) alongside Arthur Sarkissian and John Schramm; Stuart Ford will executive produce for AGC Studios alongside 30WEST.

Yeoh is represented by AIG; Laurent is represented by UTA.

Yeoh, star of such global hits as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Crazy Rich Asians, won Best Actress at the Oscars last year for A24’s Everything Everywhere All at Once.
