Sheridan is in line to star as Moehringer while Oscar winner Ben Affleck (The Way Back) is set to star as his uncle and Rabe as his mother.
On the heels of entering talks with X-Men alum Tye Sheridan for the film, George Clooney has continued to expand the roster for his adaptation of The Tender Bar as American Horror Story vet Lily Rabe has signed on to star in the film, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The film adaptation was originally set at Sony with Theodore Melfi (Hidden Figures) attached to direct, but after he departed the project the studio put it into turnaround with Amazon acquiring the rights shortly after.
The script for the film is written by William Monahan, best-known for his Oscar-winning work on the Martin Scorsese-helmed ensemble crime thriller The Departed, as well as Body of Lies and Edge of Darkness.
