Daniel Brühl & Macaulay Culkin Join Cast Of Thriller Movie Rich Flu
Daniel Brühl and Macaulay Culkin have officially been cast in the upcoming deadly virus thriller Rich Flu. The film will see its lead, Rosamund Pike, in a universe where a fictitious disease begins killing off the rich, starting with the world’s billionaires and working its way down the tax bracket food chain. With no clue when the money-hungry disease will come to an end, the entire world is shocked into a panic as people begin to sell off their assets to save themselves.
Now, Brühl and Culkin are officially on board, according to reporting from THR out of the Cannes Film Festival. The two actors are set to star opposite Pike, who was announced as the film's lead in February. Rich Flu will be directed by Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia, who co-wrote the film’s script alongside Pedro Rivero and David Desola, with script revisions by Sam Steiner.

Brühl has been steadily making a name for himself over the years, appearing in projects like Inglourious Basterds, The King’s Men, and most notably in his Marvel Cinematic Universe role of Helmut Zero. Famed child actor Culkin has been dipping his feet back into the entertainment world recently, with his latest projects being the FX horror series American Horror Story: Double Feature and the second season of the HBO dark comedy series The Righteous Gemstones. The on-screen collaboration of famed actors Pike, Brühl, and Culkin in the upcoming money-hungry disease thriller film Rich Flu should be interesting to see in the movie.
