Plot:
Harvey Keitel will star in an untitled biopic of notorious gangster Meyer Lansky. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Emory Cohen and Austin Stowell. Alexandra Daddario is in talks to star. Written and directed by Etan Rockwell (Clostrike), the film is based in part on a real interview with Lansky by Rockwell's father, history professor Robert Rockwell. The film tells the story of Lansky, who has lived in obscurity in Miami Beach after decades of being investigated and hunted by the FBI. When Lansky brings in young reporter David Stone (Worthington) to tell his story, the FBI uses him as a pawn in their pursuit of hundreds of millions of dollars. Filming will begin in August.
