The film will not only be a reunion between Gray and RT Features after Ad Astra, but will also be a reunion for stars De Niro and Hathaway after starring together in the Nancy Meyers written/directed comedy The Intern, Sutherland and De Niro after both 1900 and Backdraft and Hathaway and previously cast Cate Blanchett after Ocean’s 8.
A little over a year after RT Features acquired the project, James Gray’s follow-up to his Oscar-nominated hit Ad Astra, Armageddon Time, has begun expanding its cast with Robert De Niro (Joker), Oscar Isaac (Dune), Anne Hathaway (The Hustle) and Donald Sutherland (Trust) all joining, according to Deadline.
The film is really about that, my transition in school from one to the other.
In some sense, yes it’s about my childhood, but an illustration of familial love really on every level.
