Overview
- Alec Baldwin has joined the ensemble of Kockroach alongside Chris Hemsworth, Taron Egerton, and Zazie Beetz under director Matt Ross.
- Filming is set to begin in April, with the project described as a high-profile feature after a period of lower-profile roles for Baldwin.
- The film adapts the novel Kockroach into a New York crime story about a mysterious outsider who rises to power, from a script by Jonathan Ames revised by Ross.
- Producers Andrew Lazar and Christina Weiss Lurie are leading the project, with Black Bear on international sales and CAA Media Finance and Range Select on domestic rights.
- The move comes after Baldwin’s involuntary manslaughter case tied to the Rust set shooting was dismissed with prejudice over withheld evidence, a ruling that closed that charge in that case.
