Australian actor Jason Clarke has been confirmed to star alongside Viola Davis in the forthcoming Amazon MGM thriller, Ally Clark. First announced last summer, the film is set to feature Davis as an investigator probing into a major international conglomerate following the suspicious death of a close friend. Clarke’s specific role has not been disclosed yet, but his addition to the cast signals strong momentum for the project as it moves toward production.
The Story and Production Team Behind ‘Ally Clark’
Directed by Phillip Noyce, Ally Clark follows Davis’s character as her investigation begins in New York City and then spans across the country—from the bayous of Louisiana to the remote wilderness of Alaska. The screenplay was co-written by Jose Ruisanchez and producer Irwin Winkler, who will produce alongside Charles Winkler and David Winkler through Winkler Films. Davis and Julius Tennon are also producing through JuVee Productions, with Melanie Clark and Ian Watermeier serving as executive producers.
