No Exit Movie: Josh Brolin and Miles Teller to Star

Josh Brolin and Miles Teller will headline Joseph Kosinski’s No Exit movie

Josh Brolin and Miles Teller are set to lead the upcoming No Exit movie, Variety reports. Scripted by Black Hawk Down scribe Ken Nolan and set to be directed by TRON: Legacy and Oblivion helmer Joseph Kosinski, the No Exit movie will tell the true story of the Prescott Arizona Fire Department’s Granite Mountain Hotshots. Tasked with fighting wildfires, the 20-man crew risked it all when lightning ignited the Yarnell Hill Fire on June 30, 2013. Over a period of nearly two weeks, the Granite Mountain Hotshots bravely battled and, eventually, defeated the massive flames. The expense was great, however, as the incident claimed the lives of all but one of the Hotshots’ crew.

No Exit is set up through Black Label Media, Conde Nast Entertainment and producers Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Mike Menchel.

Plans for what would become No Exit were first announced back in 2014. At that time, several of the same producers were developing a feature tentatively titled Granite Mountain Hotshots. That iteration of the project had Crazy Heart and Out of the Furnace‘s Scott Cooper attached to direct. It was said at the time that Brendan McDonough, the sole survivor of the Hotshots would, along with Amanda Marsh, the widow of the team’s leader, Eric Marsh, serve as a consultants on the film.

Brolin is on the big screen now, reteaming with Ethan and Joel Coen for Hail, Caesar! He’s soon set to menace the Avengers, however, as the big bad of the upcoming Infinity War. Teller, meanwhile, recently visited a very different big screen Marvel Universe in last year’s Fantastic Four. He can soon be seen reprising his franchise role in this month’s The Divergent Series: Allegiant.
