The images showcase Priyanka as Ercell Bodden, aka “Bloody Mary”—a retired pirate queen turned mother—covered in blood, wielding weapons, and fiercely battling Urban’s Captain Connor. One striking shot captures her mid-fight, another in a treasure-filled cave, emphasizing the film’s raw intensity far from romanticized pirate tales
Plot and Vision: Revenge on the High Seas
Directed by Frank E. Flowers, The Bluff follows Ercell, who fled her ruthless crew years ago, only for her scorned former lover Connor to hunt her down for betrayal and hidden gold. Produced by the Russo Brothers (AGBO), it’s a revenge-driven saga with “strong bloody violence.”

Priyanka delivers a powerhouse performance in extensive fight scenes, while Urban embodies narcissistic menace. Supporting cast includes Ismael Cruz Córdova, Safia Oakley-Green, and Temuera Morrison.

A Bloody Horizon Awaits
