Miles Teller and Hailee Steinfeld will be joining forces in Quebec for their next project. The filming of ‘Winter Games,’ a sports feature, will take place in Montreal, Quebec, between November this year and February of 2027. Paul Downs Colaizzo will direct, based on a script by Colaizzo and Pat Cunnane. The story is set in the high-stakes arena of the Winter Olympic Games. It follows a perpetually overlooked skier and a self-sabotaging hockey legend who collide at their breaking points. Their unexpected connection threatens her chance for a medal and his shot at a comeback as they navigate romance and redemption in the Olympic Village.
