La La Land‘s Jordan Horowitz is producing the film and Martin Scorsese and Emma Tilinger Koskoff will executive produce.
Prieto worked with Scorsese on 2016’s Academy Award-nominated Silence, as well as 2013’s The Wolf of Wall Street.
Academy Award-nominated cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto (Silence, Brokeback Mountain) is set to make his directorial debut with the revenge thriller Bastard.
“It’s an honor to get to make this picture alongside my terrific partners at Topic and First Look Media,” Horowitz said.
