Up and coming Dutch actor Marwan Kenzari has booked leads in two major indie movies, Terry George's The Promise and Tommy Wirkola's What Happened to Monday. Christian Bale and Oscar Isaac are starring in
Promise, a period drama set in the final days of the Ottoman Empire, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The script, written by George and Robin Swicord, centers on a love triangle with a medical student, an American journalist based in Paris and a beautiful and sophisticated woman.
Kenzari has a strong supporting role opposite Bale and Isaac as the son of a diplomat in Turkey, helping them both avoid war when the Turkey-Armenian conflict erupts. Mike Medavoy is producing along with Eric Esrailian, Ralph Winter and William Horberg.
Monday is the speculative sci-fi thriller set in of an overpopulated world with a mandated one-child policy that stars Noomi Rapace and Glenn Close. The story tells of septuplet sisters who stay hidden and take turns assuming the identity of one person.
Kenzari will play the role of a bureau agent conflicted between his assignment and his love for to Rapace's character.
