Nick Jonas has signed on to star in the action-thriller Bodyman.
The film will be directed by Gary Fleder (Homefront) from a script penned by Byron Balasco (Kingdom). Principal photography is set to begin in June 2026.
A Higher Standard is handling worldwide sales and will launch the film at the EFM.
The film’s synopsis reads: Bodyman follows a violent struggle for power and, ultimately, survival that ensues during a family Christmas when an eccentric billionaire unexpectedly signs over his nepo-baby children’s expected inheritance of his private military company to his longtime bodyguard (Jonas). Who will make it out of their remote family estate alive?
Spencer Berman and Jonas will produce for Powered by Jonas, alongside Nickel City Pictures’ Mark Fasano and A Higher Standard’s Jeffrey Greenstein.
“I’ve been developing this project for a while, and I’m excited to see it come to fruition,” Jonas said in a statement. “Re-teaming with Byron Balasco and director Gary Fleder also makes this project more special to me.”
Greenstein added: “We are always looking for compelling stories that elevate the action genre, and it’s even more exciting when you pair a talent like Nick Jonas, with his deep commitment to the craft, alongside an incredible creative team to deliver a grounded and gripping film that audiences crave.”
