THIS IS US Star Justin Hartley Joins Cast of Dark Comedy Thriller A LOT OF NOTHING
This Is Us star Justin Hartley has joined the cast of the dark comedy thriller A Lot of Nothing. The actor joins previously cast actors Y’lan Noel (The First Purge), Cleopatra Coleman (The Last Man on Earth), Lex Scott Davis (The First Purge), and Shamier Anderson (Stowaway).
In the film, “things spiral out of control when a married couple living in a LA suburb is compelled to take dangerous actions when they discover their next-door neighbor (Hartley) is the police officer that just murdered an unarmed motorist.”
The pic will mark actor and producer Mo McRae’s directorial debut, from a screenplay he co-wrote with Sarah Kelly Kaplan (HBO’s Perry Mason).
McRae said of the story:
“Throughout the course of my entire life movies have had an undeniable impact on not just my POV of the world but also the way I view myself. I believe this film provides me an opportunity to present a very unique lens for people to look at themselves as individuals and society as a whole. I am excited for the chance to explore many of the themes that plague our communities and homes in a way that gives us permission to laugh at ourselves, cry, be angry, and hopefully become liberated in the process. Our team of talented and brave collaborators have committed their all to delivering something unapologetically unique, truthful, and bold as F*c#!”
This sounds like a solid project for Hartley. He’s a talented actor, and I’m interested to see how this story plays out. Shooting for A Lot of Nothing is currently underway in Los Angeles.
