Randeep Hooda Goes Hollywood Once Again For John Cena’s ‘Matchbox’
Randeep Hooda is all set to reunite for the second time with his ‘Extraction’ filmmaker Sam Hargrave for his next Hollywood project. This time he will be joining John Cena in Apple Original Films’ ‘Matchbox’.
An action thriller film, ‘Matchbox’ is inspired by Mattel’s iconic real-world die-cast toy vehicle line of the same name which was invented in 1953 by automotive enthusiast Jack Odell. He got the idea while trying to come up with a solution for a problem his daughter faced in school where she allowed to take a toy to school only if it was small enough to fit in a matchbox.
The film will follow a group of childhood friends who must come together to save the word from an imminent disaster meanwhile rediscovering their friendship along the way.
‘Matchbox’ is a live action feature film directed by Sam Hargrave based on a screenplay by David Coggeshall (‘The Family Plan’, ‘Orphan: First Kill’) and Jonathan Tropper (‘The Adam Project’, ‘Warrior’, ‘See’).
Hooda will be joining the cast in Budapest where production is currently underway. ‘Matchbox’ stars John Cena, Teyonah Parris, Jessica Biel and Sam Richardson and is produced by David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Don Granger for Skydance, and Robbie Brenner for Mattel Films.
