Amazon has acquired Pumping Black starring Jonathan Bailey and Natalie Portman.

Pumping Black follows “cyclist Taylor Mace, who at 35-years-old is finding himself aging out of the sport. He is taken under the wing of Andrea Lathe, a doctor driven by her own thirst for victory and power. As the race to the Tour de France progresses, Taylor must take increasingly dark measures to protect his secret.”

Mimi Cave (Fresh) will direct from a screenplay by Haley Hope Bartels.

The film is being produced by Stacey Sher at Shiny Penny (Heretic), Cave, Anton’s Sébastien Raybaud (Victorian Psycho), and Natalie Portman and Sophie Mas from MountainA (May December, Arco). 

Deadline notes, “We hear this streaming deal is landing in the early-20s, making it one of, potentially the, biggest deal that will go down on the ground during the market.”

Production on the project is currently slated for the fall.
