Chazelle set a first-look deal with Paramount in 2022. The studio announced in 2024 that Chazelle was working on a new movie — reportedly a biopic about stunt performer Evel Knievel led by Leonardo DiCaprio — but the filmmaker pivoted his attention after DiCaprio dropped out.

Damien Chazelle's next big film sets its sights on the two prolific actors, recent Oscar-winner Cillian Murphy and Daniel Craig.

Cillian Murphy and Daniel Craig may be set to star in a new Damien Chazelle film. Chazelle, the director well known for Whiplash and La La Land, reportedly wants Cillian and Daniel to star in his next film.
