Scarlett Johansson, Shia LaBeouf, Paul Dano and Ryan Gosling are all rallying around film The Wettest Country In The World to try and get it made.
The project has been dropped by Columbia, but according to The Hollywood Reporter the stars are all keen to get it off the ground so are letting director John Hillcoat and production company Red Wagon use their names as they present the film to studios around as a potential indie.
Set during the great Depression, it’s based on Matt Bondurant’s novel; a family crime saga about three brothers running a gang brewing and selling moonshine liquor.
None of the stars have actually signed anything, but they’re happy for Red Wagon to be using their names in its pitches, with a view to star should the movie go ahead.
