Selma Blair Joins Sean Patrick Flanery in Inspirational Indie Dog Film ETHAN ALMIGHTY - ETHAN'S LAW
Selma Blair (Legally Blonde, American Crime Story, Hellboy) has signed on to star opposite Sean Patrick Flanery (Powder, The Boondock Saints) in Ethan Almighty – Ethan’s Law, an inspirational indie film written, directed and produced by Tané McClure.
Set to shoot in Kentucky in April, the film is based on the viral true story of Jeff Callaway and the rescue dog Ethan, whose miraculous survival inspired the world and led to meaningful changes to animal cruelty laws in Kentucky.
Callaway and Ethan’s story begins in 2021, when Callaway found Ethan abandoned at the Kentucky Humane Society in Louisville, emaciated and near death. Bonding with the dog during his recovery, Callaway cared for him for weeks and ultimately adopted him.
After the story caught headlines, the public outcry over Ethan’s abuse helped inspire “Ethan’s Law,” legislation in Kentucky strengthening penalties for animal cruelty and increasing protections for abused animals.
Blair will portray Claire Patterson, who begins in a place of profound vulnerability, grappling with questions of faith, purpose, and personal loss, before undergoing a quiet but powerful transformation through her connection to Ethan’s story.
