Jon Hamm Cast as Lead in Supernatural Thriller OFF SEASON
Jon Hamm has been expanding his acting range as of late taking roles that the actor has not done before, like in Baby Driver. Now Hamm is set to star in the supernatural thriller Off Season, which based on writer-director Jonathan van Tulleken's BAFTA-nominated short. It's set in the harsh, frozen Canadian tundra. Hamm goes looking for his elderly father who has mysteriously disappeared, his feverish search exposes shocking family secrets buried but not forgotten by vengeful forces at work.
The director explained to THR why landing Hamm in the lead role was so important to the film:
“Hamm in the lead role is the kind of good fortune few first-time filmmakers are a orded,” said van Tulleken. “I never imagined I’d have the opportunity to do this with such a highly esteemed team around me. Nira Park and Miles Dale are two of the most gifted and respected producers working in film.”
Off Season is being produced by Nira Park (Baby Driver) through her Big Talk Pictures and J. Miles Dale (The Shape of Water) under his Demilo Productions banner.
