Craig was most recently seen in Luca Guadagnino’s “Queer” and will next be seen reuniting with Rian Johnson on the third “Knives Out” film, “Wake Up Dead Man.” He’s also reportedly been in the mix for Greta Gerwig’s “Narnia” movie. Craig and Murphy are each represented by CAA. Chazelle is represented by WME. Deadline first reported the news.

A new report reveals that actors Daniel Craig and Cillian Murphy could join forces with an Oscar-winning director for a new prison movie.

Chazelle set a first-look deal with Paramount in 2022. The studio announced in 2024 that Chazelle was working on a new movie — reportedly a biopic about stunt performer Evel Knievel led by Leonardo DiCaprio — but the filmmaker pivoted his attention after DiCaprio dropped out.
