Filmmaker and actor James Franco has assembled a cast of high-profile actors for his adaptation of John Steinbeck’s In Dubious Battle.
Paper Towns star Nat Wolff (pictured, via) has landed the lead role of Jim Nolan. Other actors who have signed on for this project include John Savage, Selena Gomez, Vincent D’Onofrio, Robert Duvall, Ed Harris, Bryan Cranston, Sam Shepard, Danny McBride, and Franco himself.
Here’s more from Deadline: “The story takes place, of course, during a time in this country when employees were organizing into unions or trying to fight for better treatment and wages from their employers. The same year Steinbeck’s story takes place, the Steelworkers union was founded, as was the Textile union.” (via Entertainment Weekly)
