Emmy Award winner and Golden Globe nominee Courtney B. Vance (The People vs. OJ Simpson: American Crime Story) has joined Academy Award winner Julia Roberts, Academy Award nominee Lucas Hedges, and Kathryn Newton in the film Ben is Back, which was written and will be directed by Academy Award nominee Peter Hedges.
Ben is Back is a powerful drama that follows the charming, yet troubled, Ben Burns (Hedges) who returns home to his unsuspecting family one fateful Christmas Eve.
Next spring, Vance will be part of an all-star cast in Wes Anderson’s Fox Searchlight animated film, Isle of Dogs.
Vance and director Anthony Hemingway will be back at FX, teaming with writer Dwayne Johnson-Cochran for drama Heist 88.
