Dennis Quaid and Zac Efron have joined the cast of an untitled farming drama from director Ramin Bahrani (Man Push Cart, Goodbye Solo), with the movie currently being sold to potential buyers in Cannes.
Not too much is known about the film, although Variety says it centres on ‘a farmer whose manic expansion alienates his sons and devoted wife.’ We presume it’s the expansion of the farm, rather than his waistline that’s the trouble. And hopefully there’s a bit more to the story than that, as farm expansion isn’t exactly a big box office draw on its own.
The plan is to shoot this summer, with Efron presumablt hoping this relatively indie effort with further his ambition to be taken seriously as a grown up actor.
