That's what Charles Ealy reports from the Cannes Film Festival. He says filming could start in a few months.
Ealy writes on the Austin American-Statesman's blog:
The news comes a year after a dispute erupted in Cannes over whether the movie would qualify for state incentives. At the time, Bob Hudgins of the Texas Film Commission said that Entertainment 7, the production company, need not apply for incentives because they would not be approved, citing what he called inaccuracies in the script about the government raid on the David Koresh compound near Waco.
Ferrari received the news about the Texas incentives during the festival last year and strongly rejected the contention of script inaccuracies.
On Thursday, Ferrari said that Kurt Russell has been cast to play Byron Sage, the key FBI agent at the siege of the Branch Davidian compound, which left 54 adults and 21 children dead.
Sage was one of the key sources for the Texas Film Commission’s determination that the script was inaccurate.
Other cast members include Adrien Brody as Koresh’s right-hand man, Steve Schneider, and Sharon Stone as Judy Schneider, his wife. The role of Koresh has not been cast yet, Ferrari said.
