Guillermo Del Toro is bringing “Nightmare Alley” to the big screen, and it already has a mammoth cast – with Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, Willem Defoe, Bradley Cooper, Toni Collette and David Strathairn already on board.
The latest to join the cast is Holt McCallany, of “Mindhunter” fame. Per Deadline, McCallany will play Anderson, a get-the-job-done bruiser with more going on that is first apparent from his tough guy persona.
The film is based on the 1947 novel by William Lindsay Gresham, revolving around an ex-carnival con-man turned spiritualist, played by Cooper, who teams up with a female psychiatrist to scoop cash out of the wallets and lives of their wealthy marks with some less than holy moves – until things turn.
Del Toro is looking at a Toronto shot next year with a possible 2021 release.
