The Fix Is In: Dev Patel to Slice Serve Tarsem Singh’s ‘The Journeyman’

Date:

Coming off what could be a career-best in Dear Jassi and a recent 4K restoration of the passion project of all passion projects in The Fall, Tarsem Singh is now setting his sights on a thriller project set up by the AGC Studios folks, producer Scott Franklin and with the full participation of Dev Patel who will topline and produce The Journeyman. Variety reports that the crime thriller would move into production next year — so this would fall on our laps in 2026.

Written by Bryan and Alexis Roberts (aka The Roberts), Patel plays a down-on-his-luck tennis pro who is lured into an illegal match-fixing ring to support his family and finds himself trapped in a ruthless world of corruption and violence he may never escape.
