Tom Blyth (“The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes”) will star in Claire Denis’ “The Cry of the Guards.” Blyth joins the cast of the four-hander, which also stars Mia McKenna-Bruce, Matt Dillon and Isaach De Bankolé.

The film, adapted from Bernard-Marie Koltes’ play “Black Battles With Dogs,” was written by Denis, Suzanne Lindon and Andrew Litvack. The story unfolds over the course of one night near a construction site in Senegal, where a group of workers are confronted by a man seeking justice for his brother’s death at the site.

The film is being produced by Curiosa Films and Vixens alongside Goodfellas and Saint Laurent Productions, with Senegal’s Astou Production and backing from Arte France Cinema.

Blyth recently finished filming as the male lead in Netflix, Sony 3000 and Temple Hill’s “People We Meet on Vacation,” based on the #1 New York Times bestselling novel written by Emily Henry.
