LOS ANGELES, Aug. 23 (UPI) -- Nick Nolte has signed on to play a mobster in the new film, "The Mysteries of Pittsburgh," which is based on a novel by Pulitzer Prize winner Michael Chabon.
The Hollywood Reporter said that Nolte will play the mobster father of actor Jon Foster's character in the Groundswell Prods. film, which will be directed and adapted into a screenplay by Rawson Marshall Thurber.
Joining Nolte and Foster on the set of the film from the "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story" director will be actors Peter Sarsgaard, Mena Suvari, and Sienna Miller.
"Pittsburgh" will feature Foster as a college graduate stuck in a love triangle with Miller's and Saragaard's characters, which ultimately leads him into direct conflict with Nolte's character.
Filming for the film adaptation of the Chabon's first novel is set to begin on Sept. 5 in Pittsburgh, the Reporter said.
