Isla Fisher and Blake Ritson Join Al Pacino in Thriller Captivated
Isla Fisher and Blake Ritson have joined the cast of Captivated, a thriller starring Al Pacino, according to Deadline, which reported the casting on 14 November 2026. Jackson Kelly has also joined the cast.
The film is inspired by the true story of the 1973 kidnapping of John Paul Getty III. It is set in 1970s Italy, and Dito Montiel is directing.
Production is already underway in Calabria and Rome, Italy. Calabria is a region at the southern tip of the Italian mainland, so the shoot covers both a rural setting and the capital.
Selling and distributing a film happens in two parts. Voltage Pictures is handling international sales, which means it is offering the film to distributors in countries outside the United States and Canada. CAA Media Finance and WME are handling domestic distribution, meaning the release in the United States and Canada, according to Deadline.
For readers who follow films from the start, casting news at this stage shows a project moving from planning into filming. Each name added to a cast list is one more decision made by a director, a producer and a set of agents and financiers. The film will reach cinemas and streaming services only after those decisions are finished.
