Will Smith nervous about daughter dating
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 7 (UPI) -- U.S. actors Gabriel Mann and Eliza Dushku have signed on to star in the independent film "The Thacker Case," The Hollywood Reporter said Friday.
The movie is based on the real-life 1983 wrongful death case of Kevin Thacker, a repeat drunk driving offender found dead behind the Marshalltown, Iowa, police department after a DUI offense.
Mann, who was seen recently in "The Bourne Supremacy," will play Stuart Pepper, an attorney on the rise who launches his career by landing the controversial case, the entertainment industry paper said.
Dushku, of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" fame, will play Monica Wright, Pepper's assistant.
The film was penned by "Little Fish, Strange Pond" scribe Robert Dean Klein and based on a story written by the real-life Pepper.
Shooting began this week in Los Angeles and Iowa with "Steel City" filmmaker Brian Jun at the helm.
