Actress and director Olivia Wilde has been tapped to star in the psychological erotic thriller Monkey Hill, directed by Sarah Adina Smith. The film is based on Paul Theroux’s story of the same name. The film will follow an heiress and her husband who have been accused of a white-collar crime. Deadline reports that actor Gael García Bernal will be joining Wilde in the lead roles.
Deadline’s description reads: “In Monkey Hill, an heiress accused of a white-collar crime hides away with her husband at a luxury resort in an Indian holy city. In deep denial of the growing scandal, they distract themselves with sexual escapades and spiritual dalliances. Meanwhile, the hotel staff who pamper them by the pool return each night to a village plagued by civil unrest and a deadly water crisis. When the couple ventures past the hotel gates that protect them, they awaken the sleeping giant of fate.”
