Casey Affleck, Zooey Deschanel and Walton Goggins Set To Star in DREAMIN' WILD
Casey Affleck, Zooey Deschanel and Walton Goggins are set to star in writer and director Bill Pohlad’s upcoming film Dreamin’ Wild and they will star alongside Beau Bridges, Jack Dylan Grazer, Noah Jupe and Chris Messina who round out the cast.
The film is about musicians Donnie and Joe Emerson. It tells the true story of the “Emerson family and the tumult that followed the success of their self-recorded album, which went largely unnoticed until critics rediscovered and reappraised it decades later. Now, as an adult, Donnie is forced to confront the ghosts from the past and grapple with the emotional toll his dreams have taken on the family who supported him.”
Affleck is taking on the role of Donnie in the present day, while Jupe will portray him in his teenage years. Goggins will play Joe as an adult, and Grazer will play him in his younger days. Deschanel has been cast as Donnie’s wife Nancy, Bridges as Don Sr. and Messina as Light in the Attic Records executive Matt Sullivan.
Pohlad is a talented director who previously made the film Love & Mercy, which is was wonderful film about Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. He’s managed to bring in a great cast for his next film, and I’ll be looking forward to watching it.
