The Batman actor Paul Dano has joined the cast of psychological thriller Bunker, from Oscar-winning filmmaker Florian Zeller (The Father), Variety reports today.
The actor joins cast members Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz, Stephen Graham, and Patrick Schwarzenegger.
Bunker, which is now in production, “explores the unraveling of a family as a mysterious construction project — a bunker commissioned by a powerful tech mogul — begins to infiltrate their lives.”
Zeller, who writes and directs, promises the psychological thriller will showcase his blend of “emotional rigor and haunting atmosphere.”
“We are thrilled to welcome Paul Dano to the cast,“ said Zeller. “From Little Miss Sunshine to There Will Be Blood, Paul has consistently impressed me as an actor. He possesses an extraordinary singularity — something genuinely unique — and in that sense, he is truly irreplaceable.”
The statement echoes the sentiments of many in the wake of director Quentin Tarantino’s recent unkind remarks toward the actor.
With filming now underway, stay tuned for more on Bunker as it arrives.
