Academy Award-winning actor Chris Cooper (The Bourne Identity) has been tapped to join the cast of director Jon Stewart’s upcoming political comedy Irresistible.
Focus Features in partnership with Plan B (Vice, Moonlight) are producing the film with Focus’ President of Production Josh McLaughlin to oversee.
“In the age of fake news, Jon Stewart continues to be the real deal.
He’s been making us laugh at the bipartisan commitment to bending the truth for years,” Focus Features chairman Peter Kujawski said.
