Shia LaBeouf’s “The Peanut Butter Falcon” adds castJuly 25, 2017 - 13:53 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - John Hawkes, Jon Bernthal, Thomas Haden Church, and Yelawolf have joined Shia LaBeouf and newcomer Zachary Gottsagen in the adventure-drama “The Peanut Butter Falcon”, Variety said. Dakota Johnson and Bruce Dern were cast in the film last month. Gottsagen, who is the inspiration for the film, will play the principal character of Zak in the movie, which will be directed by Tyler Nilson and Michael Schwartz from their own script. The pic made headlines earlier this month when LaBeouf was arrested for public drunkenness, obstruction, and disorderly conduct while filming in Savannah, Ga. The story follows Zak, a young man with Down syndrome, who runs away from the nursing home where he lives to pursue a career as a professional wrestler and attend the Saltwater Redneck wrestling school. Through circumstances beyond their control, a small-time outlaw also on the run (LaBeouf) becomes Zak’s unlikely coach and ally. Armory Films’ Tim Zajaros and Christopher Lemole will produce and finance the movie, alongside Bona Fide Productions’ Albert Berger and Ron Yerxa, and T-Bone Burnett, Lije Sarki, and David Thies. Burnett will also produce the soundtrack. Hawkes received an Academy Award nomination and Spirit Award win for his role in “Winter’s Bone.” Bernthal stars as the titular assassin in the Netflix series “The Punisher.” He’s also appearing on the big screen in “Baby Driver.” Haden Church received an Oscar nomination for his supporting role in “Sideways.” He currently toplines the HBO series “Divorce” alongside Sarah Jessica Parker.
