Former Emmerdale star Max Parker confirmed for new role
He'll appear alongside Elizabeth Hurley.
Former Emmerdale star Max Parker has joined the cast of new Elizabeth Hurley movie Strictly Confidential.
The film, which is the directorial debut of Elizabeth’s son Damian, follows a woman called Mia (Georgia Lock) who returns to the Caribbean to uncover the mystery of her friend’s death.
Parker’s casting in the film has now been confirmed in a joint Instagram post with the director, who wrote: “MAX PARKER is WILL STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL will be released by @Lionsgate on April 5th, in select theatres & on demand @primevideo @appletv.”
The movie’s synopsis reads: “On the anniversary of Rebecca’s death, Mia returns to the Caribbean paradise where she and her best friend shared her final days.
“As Mia sets out to unravel the mysterious events of her passing, old passions rise, new secrets are uncovered, and Mia is pulled into a seductive world of sex, betrayal and murder.”
Speaking recently about Strictly Confidential, Damian explained how his mother “promised” him she would appear in his first feature film.
“During the making of my first-ever short film back in 2010 when I was 8, my mother promised me she’d be in my first feature,” he told People. “True to her word, the minute Strictly Confidential was green-lit, my mother dropped everything and raced out to the Caribbean to help.”
Parker played the role of Luke Posner on Emmerdale between 2019 and 2021, and he has also appeared in TV shows COBRA and Vampire Academy.
Last year, he landed a role in new Netflix series The Corps, and he is set to appear alongside 13 Reasons Why‘s Miles Heizer, The Conjuring‘s Vera Farmiga and Liam Oh.
