Director Edward Berger is set to helm thriller "Rio" starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Jake Gyllenhaal.
The actors are also producing the project, reported Variety.
"Call Me by Your Name" helmer Luca Guadagnino had been attached last year to direct "Rio" but fell out due to scheduling commitments.
The story, written by Steven Knight, revolves around two old friends who meet again in Rio de Janeiro one, a journalist played by Gyllenhaal, and the other, a hugely successful financier, portrayed by Cumberbatch.
