Also in the cast are John Magaro, Hope Davis, Bill Camp, Gaby Hoffmann, Amanda Plummer, Eli Gelb, Cole Doman, Javion Allen, Matthew Maher and Rhenzy Feliz. In-demand Brit actor O’Connor was in Cannes earlier this week with Oliver Hermanus’ The History Of Sound and has been cast in Steven Spielberg’s next project.
