Benicio del Toro Is Officially a Screenwriter With New Project ‘Reptile’

An Academy Award, BAFTA, Golden Globe, and two-time Screen Actors Guild Award-winner, Benicio del Toro (Traffic) has delivered an acting career that has been nothing short of successful. The actor has appeared in a slew of celebrated titles, including Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Way of the Gun, Sin City, The French Dispatch, and even dipped into a handful of MCU features. Along with working with some of the biggest filmmakers around, del Toro has also tried his hand at directing and expanded his credits beyond acting and into producing. However, up until his soon-to-be-released project, Reptile, del Toro has never penned a script. That all changed when he was cast in Grant Singer’s thriller as he also joined Singer and Benjamin Brewer to co-write the screenplay. In addition to his newly minted screenplay credit, del Toro leads the upcoming crime thriller opposite Alicia Silverstone and Justin Timberlake.
