CATCHING UP WITH MAMOUDOU ATHIE

With the release of “Wardriver” on digital, I caught up with Mamoudou Athie. He plays Oscar, the tech predator in the film. Someone that the audience really needs to keep a close eye on. In our conversation we talked about the intimate feel of the film due to the small cast, as well as how it was shot and edited. Athie shared with me his thoughs on working with DeHaan and Sasha Calle in the film. We also talked about his journey from when we last spoke on Disney/Pixar’s Elemental, to this film. It was a great conversation that you can check out below!

ABOUT “WARDRIVER

Cole (Dane DeHaan) prowls the city “Wardriving”—hacking from his car and stealing on the move. He convinces himself no one gets hurt, until black-market tech predator Oscar (Mamoudou Athie) forces him into a million-dollar cyber-heist. The job exposes a mob lawyer (Jeffrey Donovan) using Sarah (Sasha Calle) to launder his fortune.

As bullets fly and betrayals close in, Cole must risk everything to return the money, protect Sarah, and survive a deadly game of cat-and-mouse where every line of code could be his last.
