Tom Holland & Austin Butler to Star in Amazon’s American Speed
Amazon MGM Studios has just landed American Speed, a project with two of this generation’s biggest stars, Tom Holland and Austin Butler, attached to star.
American Hustle and Oppenheimer producer Charles Roven will produce the movie through his Atlas Entertainment banner. Additional producers include RD Whittington and Douglas Banker, with Atlas Entertainment’s Ryan Sanak executive producing. Dan Wiedenhaupt (Alpha) is writing the script.
What is American Speed about?
According to Deadline, American Speed is “based on the true story of the Whittington brothers — three historically famous racecar drivers, two of whom were part of the 1980s IMSA scandal, in which a number of drivers were charged with financing their racing activities with proceeds from drug smuggling, money laundering or tax evasion.”
The announcement comes on the heels of Holland’s recent involvement in Christopher Nolan’s next movie, where he will be starring alongside Matt Damon (The Talented Mr. Ripley, The Martian). The actor also recently confirmed that the filming date for Spider-Man 4 will start “next summer.”
Holland is best known for his role of Peter Parker in Marvel Cinematic Universe’s three Spider-Man installments (Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home, and Spider-Man: No Way Home), as well as in Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame.
Outside the MCU, he also starred in The Impossible, In the Heart of the Sea, The Lost City of Z, The Devil All the Time, Cherry, and Uncharted.
Meanwhile, Butler — whose first roles were in Disney Channel and Nickelodeon shows — received worldwide prominence for his portrayal of Elvis Presley in the 2022 biopic Elvis.
Butler’s other credits include Aliens in the Attic, Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure, The Carrie Diaries, The Intruders, The Dead Don’t Die, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Bikeriders, Dune: Part Two, and Masters of the Air. He can next be seen in Darren Aronofsky’s upcoming crime thriller, Caught Stealing.
