ALISON SUDOL, the breakout star of “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” has signed on to join Samuel L. Jackson, Sebastian Stan and Christopher Plummer in “The Last Full Measure.”

    Based on the true story of a present-day cover-up investigation, “The Last Full Measure” follows young Pentagon investigator Scott Huffman (Stan) as he battles the political machine in Washington. He reluctantly teams with veterans of Operation Abilene to convince Congress to award the Medal of Honor to a courageous Air Force medic, William Pitsenbarger, who is seen saving the lives of more than 60 Marines who were ambushed in one of the bloodiest battles of the Vietnam War. As the battle waged on, and after the last helicopter left, he continued to save lives until his own was sacrificed.

    Sudol will play the female lead, Tara Huffman, the wife of Stan’s character.

    The film is slated to shoot in April in Atlanta and Costa Rica.
