Actress Kate Hudson has been roped in to star as the wife of Mark Wahlberg's oil rig engineer character in upcoming film "Deepwater Horizon".
The film will also star Gina Rodriguez, Dylan O'Brien, Kurt Russell and John Malkovich. It will mark the first onscreen pairing of Russell with his daughter Hudson, reports variety.com.
Lionsgate and Participant Media will be producing the film, directed by Peter Berg from a script by Matthew Michael Carnahan. In 2011, the companies acquired feature rights to the New York Times article "Deepwater Horizon's Final Hour", written by David Barstow, David Rohde and Stephanie Saul.
The 2010 explosion of Deepwater Horizon killed 11 men working on the platform and injured 17 others. The subsequent gusher wasn't capped for three months.
"Deepwater Horizon" is expected to release on September 30, 2016.
