Steven Spielberg has added an ensemble of actors to the cast of his new film The Papers including some of the best actors to have worked on television over the past few years.
Joining Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks for the Pentagon Papers project is Breaking Bad alumni and Better Call Saul star Bob Odenkirk, The Americans’ Matthew Rhys and Carrie Coon who stole scenes in HBO series The Leftovers which drew to a close last weekend.
The Papers will arrive in the US on a very Oscar-friendly 22 December before a 16 January release in the UK.
The Papers will explore the role the Washington Post played in exposing the titular Papers, which were unreported facts about a secret aim to escalate the Vietnam War in 1971.
