The production of the film has begun in Las Vegas, the city where the events of the film take place. The synopsis of Sympathy for the devil describes that: “A driver finds himself in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse after being forced to drive for a mysterious man. As he continues his journey, it becomes clear that all is not as it seems.” Not many more details were offered about how the plot will unfold, but everything would suggest that it would only have these two characters in the middle of a road movies full of tension
The film hopes to find a buyer to distribute it in as many countries as possible. That is why the premiere at the Toronto Film Festival is eagerly awaited, where the highest bidder will be sought. Surely we will see this movie only next year.
