SEAN PENN’S next directorial venture “Flag Day” is heading into production and rounding out its cast. Joining Penn and his daughter and son, Dylan and Hopper, onscreen will be Josh Brolin and Miles Teller, as well as Norbert Leo Butz, Dale Dickey, Eddie Marsan, Bailey Noble and Katheryn Winnick. The Tony-winning playwright Jez Butterworth behind Broadway’s “The Ferryman” penned the screenplay, which is based on Jennifer Vogel’s 2005 memoir “Flim-Flam Man: The True Story of My Father’s Counterfeit Life.” The book tells the story of a daughter that has to come to terms with her perceptions of her criminal father, a bank robber and career counterfeiter that evaded arrest for six months. Wonderful Films, Rahway Road, New Element Films and Clyde Is Hungry Films are behind the production, with William Horberg, Jon Kilik and Fernando Sulichin acting as producers.(SD-Agencies) |
