EXCLUSIVE: Born To Burn Films’ indie action thriller Foster has added six to cast: Dash Mihok (Long Bright River), Randy J. Goodwin (Dynasty), Rhys Coiro (The Penguin), Alexis Knapp (Pitch Perfect), James Frain (Quantum Leap), and Jeremy Luke (The Irishman).
As previously announced, James Franco, Ron Perlman, and Natalie Burn lead the cast. Production launched in August.
Foster is billed as an analog, 1980s-set action thriller following Donald “Don” Foster (Franco), a man haunted by his past and clawing his way through sobriety, who just wants peace — one day at a time. But when June (Burn), a troubled addict, leaves her young son on his doorstep, Don is dragged back into the violent underworld he thought he left behind. Hunted by his former boss, Brooks (Perlman) — a ruthless crime lord who knows every secret Don swore to bury — Don must fight for redemption, protect the boy, and face the sins of the woman who pulled him back in… one bullet at a time.
Emmy winner Timothy Woodward Jr (Studio City) is directing, with Top Film Distribution handling international sales, having just introduced the project to buyers at TIFF.
