Jude Law to Star in Untitled Getaway-Driver Thriller

The announcement signals Riff Raff Entertainment’s push into larger-scale, character-driven action by pairing Law with Oscar‑nominated writer Zach Baylin.

Overview

  • Riff Raff’s co-founder Ben Jackson and head of film and TV Katie Sinclair announced the project at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival on Tuesday, July 7, 2026.
  • The company said Baylin has written the screenplay and that Jude Law will play a getaway driver who must move from A to B to C while facing many obstacles.
  • Riff Raff described the film as a bigger-scale, still character-anchored thriller but did not name a director, wider cast, financier, distributor or a release plan.
  • Executives said the idea grew out of Law’s 2024 film The Order, where car-chase sequences led the company to develop a full action-focused story.
  • Baylin’s involvement bolsters the project’s industry credibility and he is also developing a separate TV series with Riff Raff, which could expand the company’s slate into larger genre work.
