Selena Gomez will be back on the big screen in another movie role, and one again she’ll be joined by James Franco.
Film and TV Now can confirm that the actress, who is currently busy with the production of FUNDAMENTALS OF CAREGIVING, is reuniting with her SPRING BREAKERS co-star for a new film based on John Steinbeck‘s gritty novel, IN DUBIOUS BATTLE, which portrays the economic struggle between labour and capital in 1930s America as close to all-out warfare.
Not only will Franco be starring in the film, he will also be in the director’s chair with an impressive a star-studded ensemble completing the cast including Vincent D’Onofrio, Robert Duvall, Ed Harris, Bryan Cranston and Danny McBride.
According to the press release we have been sent, IN DUBIOUS BATTLE is “set in a fictionalized valley in California and explores themes Steinbeck continued to develop: group behavior, social injustice, man’s inhumanity to man—all themes which continue to be relevant today.
“A labor conflict between migrant apple pickers and the local growers’ association is the backdrop against which Jim Nolan (Franco) becomes involved in the labor movement and rapidly matures as he learns what it means to do organizational fieldwork.”
Filming of the movie is set to begin in March.
