Paul Greengrass is set to direct the upcoming thriller Test Drive for 20th Century, following the success of his previous film The Lost Bus. The project, written by Matt Venne, was acquired by the studio during a competitive bidding process in the fall of 2024. Greengrass, an Oscar nominee known for his intense and realistic storytelling style, will bring his signature approach to the high-stakes narrative centered around a suspenseful road-driven plot.
Test Drive is described as a gripping thriller with elements of tension and unpredictability, built around a central premise involving a vehicle and its unexpected consequences. The film marks another step in Greengrass’s continued collaboration with major studios on character-driven, action-infused stories. With production expected to begin later this year, the project has already generated significant industry interest.
