Benicio Del Toro will head the cast of Oliver Stone’s next, “White Lies”.
The “Sicario” and “Star Wars : The Last Jedi” actor will headline the New York-set drama, which is said to be a tonal change from most of Stone’s previous films.
In a story covering three generations, the film will follow Jack (Del Toro), a child of divorce now repeating his parents’ mistakes in his own marriage and with his troubled son. Feeling trapped, he embarks on a lust-filled journey to free himself, but only becomes more lost. When he meets a woman whose life is the opposite of his own, he begins a journey of rediscovery.
Production is scheduled to begin in New York in spring 2019.
Del Toro previously starred in Stone’s “Savages” in 2012.
