The independent film is being directed by British director Vaughn Stein with Pegg playing a character named Morgan in the film and will be starring alongside Lily Collins, Connie Nielson and Chace Crawford.

The brief for this role was lean, VERY lean. It required a specific body shape & look.’ Lower said Pegg's transformation took six months and saw him drop from 78kg down to 69kg as well as 4% drop in body fat down to 8%.
