Samuel L.Jackson has joined the cast of the long-gestating “The Last Full Measure”.
Jackson joins his “Captain America : Winter Soldier” co-star Sebastian Stan, Christopher Plummer, William Hurt, Bradley Whitford, Michael Imperioli and Linus Roache. Todd Robinson (”White Squall”, ”Lonely Hearts”) directs.
Per The Hollywood Reporter :
Based on the true story of a present-day cover-up investigation, The Last Full Measure follows young Pentagon investigator Scott Huffman (Stan) as he battles the political machine in Washington. He reluctantly teams with veterans of Operation Abilene to convince Congress to award the Medal of Honor to a courageous Air Force medic, William Pitsenbarger, who is seen saving the lives of more than 60 Marines who were ambushed in one of the bloodiest battles of the Vietnam War. As the battle waged on, and after the last helicopter left, he continued to save lives until his own was sacrificed.
Principal photography is set to begin later this month in Atlanta and Costa Rica.
