One Day star Ambika Mod lands next movie role

As a gamer with a penchant for action-packed movies and an affinity for diverse casts, I’m absolutely thrilled about Ambika Mod’s latest role in ‘Sacrifice’. With her impressive performance in ‘One Day’, I can only imagine how she’ll bring her unique charm to this high-profile project. The ensemble is nothing short of a dream team, and the addition of Chris Evans, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Charli XCX among others, promises an exhilarating ride.


One Day star Ambika Mod has landed her next movie role.

The actress is now part of the large ensemble for director Romain Gavras’ upcoming action movie, Sacrifice, along with several prominent figures.

According to Deadline, Mod is among the latest cast members joining stars such as Vincent Cassel, John Malkovich, Jade Croot, Jeremy O. Harris, Miriam Silverman, along with music icons Charli XCX (Brat queen) and Swedish rapper Yung Lean.

They are now part of the main cast, alongside previously announced leads Chris Evans from Captain America and Anya Taylor-Joy known for Furiosa. Additionally, they join supporting actors Salma Hayek Pinault from Black Mirror and Sam Richardson in the film.

In this upcoming movie, Gavras is making his first directorial attempt in the English language, collaborating with Will Arbery, known for “Succession,” on the script.

Sacrifice draws influence from the tale of Joan of Arc, featuring Taylor-Joy portraying Joan as a fervent soul guided by an explosive prophecy that she alone can perceive. This character embarks on a quest to prevent global catastrophe from impending doom.

In this continuation, the main character, accompanied by her band of spiritual followers, orchestrates a daring seizure of an elegant charity event. She captures three individuals as her prisoners: Mike Tyler, a troubled actor yearning for atonement; Bracken, the wealthiest person globally; and Katie, who simply finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time.

They’re compelled on an arduous trek through woods and flames until Mike encounters the most crucial question: What is he willing to give up for the sake of mankind?

Filming for Sacrifice is currently underway in Europe.

Previously, Gavras discussed with Deadline about the origin of the concept behind Sacrifice and how it was influenced by Greek mythology.

As someone who frequently attends glamorous events like Cannes or charity functions filled with high-profile individuals, there’s a naughty part of me that can’t help but secretly hope for a bit of chaos to unfold. I suspect the audience sharing this sentiment as they watch these grand occasions, longing for an unexpected turn of events.

When you witness flashy individuals and their glamour, doesn’t it sometimes feel like you’d prefer to rearrange or alter that situation somehow?

As a child, I was nurtured on the stories of Greek mythology rather than being entertained by contemporary films. Instead, my parents regaled me with tales involving cannibalistic mothers and human sacrifices to volcanoes.

Those items sustained me and sparked the concept of a team of children who share an extremely unique objective, rooted in a mythical or legendary belief system.

There’s a clear affection for satire in this work, and Will has an exceptional talent for crafting characters with biting wit and genuine human depth. I’m absolutely thrilled about our ensemble!

Sacrifice doesn’t have a release date yet.
