Miles Teller has been cast in Paul Downs Colaizzo’s Paramount Pictures Olympic sports picture ‘Winter Games.’

The project centres on the high-stakes arena of the Winter Olympic Games, a perpetually overlooked skier and a self-sabotaging hockey legend who collide at their breaking points. Their unexpected connection threatens her chance for a medal and his shot at a comeback as they navigate romance and redemption in the Olympic Village.

As well as taking on directing duties, Colaizzo has also penned the script alongside Pat Cunnane. Tim and Trevor White are producing on behalf of Star Thrower alongside Teller.

The ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ star recently finished up production on a couple of high-profile projects: Lionsgate’s Michael Jackson biopic ‘Michael’ and A24’s ‘Eternity,’ in which he stars opposite Elizabeth Olsen and Callum Turner.
