Jake Gyllenhaal is teaming up with his Life director again on a new film. Gyllenhaal and director Daniel Espinosa are set to film The Anarchists vs ISIS, an adaptation of a Rolling Stone article about American volunteers who fought alongside Kurdish militia in Syria.
Gyllenhaal and Riva Marker’s Ninestories production will co-produce with Bold Films. Marker stated, “Jake and I are thrilled to partner with Daniel Espinosa on Seth Harp’s daring story. Thematically, we’re often attracted to material about the search for identity, especially in a world where it’s become easier to feel less and less connected. Seth’s story is about people who abandon everything that’s familiar as a means to connect in the most brutal of circumstances.”
