After a fantastic 2025 starring in both Jurassic World: Rebirth and Wicked: For Good, Jonathan Bailey is set to take the lead in a brand new psychological thriller.
According to Variety, Julianne Moore will star alongside Natalie Portman in a new movie called Pumping Black. The film will be directed by Mimi Cave, who previously worked on Fresh and Holland.
This project is a fast-paced, intense thriller set in the highly competitive world of professional cycling. It’s been compared to Natalie Portman’s Oscar-winning film, Black Swan, suggesting a similarly thrilling and potentially dark story.
Bailey stars as Taylor Mace, a 35-year-old cyclist struggling with the end of his racing career, but determined to keep competing.
With the Tour de France getting closer, he joins forces with Andrea Lathe, a doctor from Portman who is just as determined to win and gain influence.

So far, the story shows he’s hiding a secret and will do almost anything to keep it that way, leading him down a dangerous path.
I’m really intrigued by this new show! Some people are wondering if the big secret will have something to do with performance-enhancing drugs, maybe referencing all the doping controversies in professional cycling. We don’t know for sure – the details are still under wraps – but it definitely sounds thrilling, and with those two actors leading the cast, I’m already hooked!
Stacey Sher of Shiny Penny Productions shared that Haley Bartel’s script instantly captivated them with its intense, psychological atmosphere, which they found both exciting and uniquely creative.
I’m thrilled to be working with Natalie and her company, MountainA, on this ambitious project. Jonathan’s skills are exactly what we need, and I’m really looking forward to collaborating with Anton to make Mimi Cave’s amazing idea a reality.
Bailey and Ariana Grande will be performing together in a London stage production of Sunday in the Park with George next year. Tickets become available this month.
The latest issue of Living Legends, a beautifully illustrated 100-page tribute to Sir David Attenborough, is now available! You can purchase it at newsstands or online.
