Fresh off of his Oscar win for Best Performance By an Actor in a Leading Role in Manchester By the Sea, Casey Affleck is gearing up for his next film. “The Old Man and the Gun” will star Affleck with legendary actor and director Robert Redford. The movie is heading Cincinnati, Ohio to film and there is a new extras casting call. Casting directors are looking for Ohio locals to work on the film. Males and females ages 18 and up are needed for background extra roles. The exact film dates and roles have not been released. The team is holding a general open casting call for actors who want to work on the film.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Old Man and the Gun is based on a 2003 New Yorker article written by David Grann, Old Man stars Robert Redford as Forrest Tucker, a man born in 1920 who, as a lifelong bank robber, spent most of his life in jail or escaping from jail (18 times). Like the article, Lowery’s screenplay retraces Tucker’s twilight years, from his audacious escape from San Quentin at the age of 70 to an unprecedented string of heists that confounded authorities and enchanted the public. Tucker was caught by police after a robbery and high-speed chase in 2000 and sentenced to 13 years. He died in 2005. Affleck will play a detective who becomes captivated with Tucker’s commitment to his craft and a woman who loves him in spite of his chosen profession”.
