Lansky

Harvey Keitel will star in an untitled biopic focusing on notorious gangster Meyer Lansky. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Emory Cohen, and Austin Stowell. Alexandra Daddario is in talks to star. The film was written and directed by Etan Rockwell ([Claustrophobic Space]), and is partly based on real interviews with Lansky by Rockwell's father, history professor Robert Rockwell. The film tells the story of Lansky, who lives in obscurity in Miami Beach after being investigated and hunted by the FBI for decades. When Lansky invites young reporter David Stone (Worthington) to tell his story, the FBI uses him as a pawn in a case where hundreds of millions of dollars are allegedly hidden. The film will start shooting in August.
