Sebastian Stan and Leo Woodall Set to Star in Justin Kurzel’s BURNING RAINBOW FARM
Sebastian Stan (Thunderbolts) and Leo Woodall (The White Lotus) are teaming up for Burning Rainbow Farm, the latest project from filmmaker Justin Kurzel (The Order, Macbeth).
Based on the nonfiction book by Dean Kuipers and adapted for the screen by Tommy Murphy (Holding the Man), the film dives into the real-life story of Tom Crosslin and Rollie Rohm, a couple in rural Michigan who build a peaceful, pot-friendly utopia called Rainbow Farm.
“When the two run afoul of local authorities and their young son is taken from them, a standoff ensues leading to one of the largest and most dramatic sieges America has ever seen.”
Kurzel said in a statement: “Burning Rainbow is a love story about two outliers who raise their middle finger to hate and declare ‘This is who we are, and we dare you to take it from us’. I’m excited to create this loveable and courageous couple with Sebastian and Leo, their union will be one to remember.”
Stan, fresh off his Oscar-nominated turn in The Apprentice, is also currently riding high with Thunderbolts*, which has pulled in over $173M worldwide.
Woodall, meanwhile, continues his rise with recent work on Prime Target, One Day, and Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy.
