There is a new project hitting the Southeast film industry, Kill The Messenger and casting directors are currently casting talent for the upcoming feature film.
CL Casting recently announced that they will be doing the background casting for the upcoming feature film, Kill the Messenger.
Kill the Messenger will be filming in the Atlanta, Georgia area and CL Casting is currently seeking two different types for the film.
Casting directors are currently seeking Central Americans, or individuals that resemble Central Americans and actors that can work as journalists/Press.
Kill The Messenger is based on the true story of Gary Webb, a San Jose Mercury News reporter who committed suicide after being the target of a smear campaign when he linked the CIA to a scheme to arm Contra rebels in Nicaragua and import cocaine into California. After Gary Webb, wrote his three-part series, Dark Alliance. Webb implied that the CIA was the catalyst for the increase of crack cocaine in California. The film will take the perspective that Webb was correct and that the CIA used a smear campaign to conceal a political scandal. Ultimately, because of the smear campaign, what would be a career-making story, became a career ending situation .
The feature film will star, Jeremy Renner (Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hungers) along side Michael Cuesta who will direct the feature film, Kill the Messenger.
Kill the Messenger script was written by Peter Landesman and it looks like Michael Cuesta will be perfect for this feature film. Michael Cuesta directed a series of episodes on Homeland, Dexter and Elementary (Deadline).
