Bad Robot’s Overlord Casts Up!
Just minutes ago the official casting announcement for the upcoming J.J. Abrams flick Overlord hit our desks and we’d figured that it’d be a good idea to share!
From the Press Release:
Paramount Pictures and Bad Robot jointly announced today the complete cast for OVERLORD, from Director Julius Avery (SON OF A GUN).
Joining the previously announced casting of Jovan Adepo and Wyatt Russell, the film will also star Jacob Anderson (GAME OF THRONES), Dominic Applewhite (THE KING’S SPEECH), Pilou Asbaek (GAME OF THRONES), Iain de Caestecker (Marvel’s AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.), John Magaro (THE BIG SHORT), Mathilde Ollivier (THE MISFORTUNES OF FRANCOIS JANE), and Bokeem Woodbine (FARGO).
The Bad Robot production is produced by J.J. Abrams and Lindsey Weber, and written by Billy Ray (CAPTAIN PHILLIPS) and Mark L. Smith (THE REVENANT).
On the eve of D-Day, a group of American paratroopers are dropped behind enemy lines to carry out a mission crucial to the invasion’s success. But as they approach their target, they begin to realize there is more going on in this Nazi-occupied village than a simple military operation.
The film will begin shooting this May in the U.K.
