Chalamet, Mangold Plan Motocross Heist Film High Side

Timothée Chalamet and director James Mangold are reportedly planning to reunite for High Side, a motocross heist film based on an unpublished short story by Jaime Oliveira. The project is being developed by Chernin Entertainment, with Sugar23 representing Oliveira, and is currently being pitched to studios. The story follows Billy, a former MotoGP racer with a troubled past, who is recruited by his FBI-fugitive brother Cole for a series of small-town bank robberies executed on superbikes. Their crew, which includes Billy's new lover, aims for a climactic heist during a major motorcycle parade, while an FBI agent with a personal history with Cole pursues them. Both Chalamet and Mangold are engaged with other projects, making the production timeline for High Side uncertain. The film is generating significant industry buzz for its blend of action and emotional drama.
