Here’s a new and interesting take on the “killer plus innocent bystander” storyline.

Variety reports that Max Minghella is in talks to star in Universal’s low-budget thriller “Not Safe For Work”,  playing “a young paralegal trapped in an office with a killer on a secret mission to destroy files and anyone that stands in his path”. Eloise Mumford will play his girlfriend.

To be directed by Joe Johnston, from a script by Simon Boyes and Adam Mason, the film will be Minghella’s first lead role, after starring with George Clooney in “Syriana” and “The Ides of March”, playing Armie Hammer’s business partner in “The Social Network” and then opposite Emile Hirsch in the poorly-received “The Darkest Hour“.

Mumford, most recognisable for TV roles, is set to star alongside Miley Cyrus in “So Undercover”, out March this year, and is currently filming “Drones”, about the pilots of an unnamed air force done working above the skies in Afghanistan.
