FARGO 203 FX/MGM

Australia’s Angus Sampson (“Insidious”, “The Mule”) has joined the cast of Kiwi Director Taika Waititi’s next, “Next Goal Wins.”

The “Jojo Rabbit” filmmaker is helming the story of the American Samoa soccer team, who suffered the worst loss in World Cup history, losing to Australia 31-0 in 2001. With the 2014 World Cup approaching, the team recruits a down on his luck, maverick coach (Michael Fassbender) to help turn their fate around.

Rhys Darby (“Jumanji”), Chris Alosio (“Fighting Season”) and Sisa Grey (“Smilf”),

Elizabeth Moss, Oscar Kightley, David Fane, Beulah Koale, Lehi Falepapalangi, Semu Filipo, Uli Latukefu, Rachel House and Kaimana are already onboard the film, which is currently in production in Hawaii.
