Glenn Close has joined the cast of the comedy “Bastards”, says Deadline.
J.K. Simmons, Owen Wilson, Ed Helms, Terry Bradshaw and Ving Rhames star in the film about two brothers (Wilson and Helms) whose eccentric mother fabricates a story that their father died when they were young.
The Mrs. Reynolds role played by Close is a pivotal one in the film as she must be believable as a one-time wild party girl from the 1970s who slept around. She must also be believable as a woman with a big heart as the truth that comes out later is much more complicated.
Both Simmons and Bradshaw (who plays himself) play potential father figures.
“Bastards” marks the directorial debut of cinematographer Lawrence Sher.
