Things are certainly moving fast on Robert Redford’s true-life historical drama, The Conspirator. It was only a few weeks ago that the film was officially announced, and now production has already begun and the first pictures from the set have arrived. The Playlist got hold of the first images, and also announced that Evan Rachel Wood and Toby Kebbell have joined the film. Variety also reports that Alexis Bledel, Tom Wilkinson and Kevin Kline have joined an ever more illustrious cast.
The movie is about Mary Surratt (Robin Wright Penn) who is charged as a conspirator in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, however her initially reluctant lawyer (James McAvoy) comes to believe he’s innocent. Justin Long will also star in the movie as McAvoy’s Civil War veteran best friend.
