Crime 101, starring Chris Hemsworth and Pedro Pascal, has secured a studio following a fierce $100 million bidding war. This crime thriller, based on Don Winslow's novella of the same name, delves into a gripping pursuit of a jewel thief along the Pacific Coast Highway. Recently, both Amazon and Netflix were reported to be vying for the rights to Crime 101, with Amazon emerging as the winner after offering approximately $90 million instead of the previously rumored $100 million. Intriguingly, Netflix had offered a larger sum but was passed over in favor of Amazon due to the latter's promise of a theatrical release, whereas Netflix had insisted on script revisions.
What Is Next For Crime 101’s Production?
The casting alone has generated excitement for Crime 101, although little is known about the specifics. Based on a novella with only two central characters, it is anticipated that Pascal and Hemsworth will portray either Detective Lou Lubesnick or the jewel thief. The thriller holds promise with such strong stars in the lead roles. It comes as no surprise that two prominent streaming platforms expressed interest in Crime 101. Despite Amazon picking up the production, there is no guarantee that filming will commence soon. The ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike may impact the project, with potential disruptions for those involved in its production.
There is speculation about Hemsworth possibly leaving the project, which would be a significant setback for Crime 101. The success of the movie depends heavily on having strong main stars. With production now with Amazon, it is hoped that Hemsworth will continue to be part of the project and contribute to bringing the intimate thriller plot of Crime 101 to fruition.
