James Franco will helm John Steinbeck's 'In Dubious Battle' with strong cast including Bryan Cranston, Selena Gomez, Vincent D'Onofrio, Robert Duvall, Ed Harris, Danny McBride and Franco himself.
The film is based on Steinbeck's gritty, realist style novel In Dubious Battle, which portrays the struggle between labor and capital in 1930s America as close to all-out warfare, Deadline.com reported.
Writer Matt Rager adapted the feature screenplay based on the novel. Principal photography on the film will commence in March.
AMBI Group, the movie development, finance, production and distribution group owned and run by Andrea Iervolino and Lady Monika Bacardi, would be financing the film and producing with Rabbit Bandini Productions and That's Hollywood Pictures Production. Producers are Andrea Iervolino, Lady Monika Bacardi, Scott Reed, Vince Jolivette, Ron Singer and Iris Torres.
