Miles Teller is to star in Paramount Pictures' 'Winter Games'.
Paul Downs Colaizzo is to direct the Winter Olympic Games movie, which is currently in development, from a script penned by himself and Pat Cunnane.
Sources have told Deadline that 'Top Gun: Maverick' actor Teller is attached to the project, which he will also produce alongside Tim and Trevor White.
The movie will tell the story of the huge pressure on Winter Olympic Games competitors, and it'll focus on two main characters - a "self-sabotaging hockey legend" and a "perpetually overlooked skier".
The characters will "navigate romance and redemption in the Olympic Village" amid their quests to win Olympic gold.
Teller is no stranger to working with Paramount Pictures, having done so in 2022's 'Top Gun: Maverick' alongside Tom Cruise, Glen Powell, Jennifer Connelly and the late Val Kilmer, who passed away this month aged 65.
'Winter Games' will also see Teller reuniting with producers Tim and Trevor White and writer Cunnane, after they all teamed up for forthcoming romantic comedy film 'Eternity', which also stars Elizabeth Olsen and Callum Turner.
Teller looks set for a busy rest of 2025, after it was revealed in February that he and Casey Affleck had been cast in manhunt thriller 'Wild Game', which is being directed and written by Oscar-nominated scribe Jason Hall.
Miles - who previously worked with Hall on the 2017 flick 'Thank You for Your Service' - told Deadline: "I'm really looking forward to reuniting with Jason Hall on 'Wild Game'. We've had a great collaboration in the past on 'Thank You for Your Service', and I know he's going to bring incredible depth to this story.
"Claude Dallas is such a complex and layered character - tough, relentless, and living by his own code. I can't wait to get started with this team."
