Bodyman centers on a violent power struggle that unfolds during a family Christmas gathering after an eccentric billionaire unexpectedly transfers control of his private military company to his longtime bodyguard, played by Jonas, instead of to his adult children. The decision triggers a fight for survival at the family's remote estate. Jonas will also produce the film alongside Spencer Berman under their Powered by Jonas banner. Additional producers include Mark Fasano for Nickel City Pictures and Jeffrey Greenstein for A Higher Standard. The project reunites Fleder, Balasco and Jonas, who previously worked together on the DirecTV series Kingdom. Jonas' recent feature work includes turns in 2019's Jumanji: The Next Level, and in Roland Emmerich's WW2 action film Midway. The singer-songwriter, who shot to fame as the youngest brother in the pop trio The Jonas Brothers, dropped his fifth studio album, "Sunday Best" on Feb. 6. Jonas is represented by UTA and Shreck Rose Dapello Adams Berlin & Dunham. Fleder is represented by IAG and Brecheen Feldman Breimer Silver Thompson, while Balasco is represented by CAA.
