James Ponsoldt’s The Circle adds Boyhood actor Ellar Coltrane

September 30, 2015 by Justin Cook

In his first post-Boyhood role, actor Ellar Coltrane has been added to the cast of James Ponsoldt’s The Circle. 

The Circle, which is Ponsoldt’s follow-up to this summer’s The End of the Tour, already boasts a large and impressive cast that includes Tom Hanks, Emma Watson, John Boyega, Patton Oswalt, Bill Paxton and Karen Gillan.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Coltrane will play Watson’s ex-boyfriend, who tries to “go off the grid” and evade the Circle, a powerful tech company that believes privacy is an “outdated idea.”

Coltrane played the lead character Mason in last year’s Boyhood, which was famously filmed a little bit each year from 2002 to 2013. The actor, who was only six years old when he was cast in the film, was 19 by the time production wrapped. Over the course of his career, Coltrane has also appeared in such films as Fast Food Nation and Lone Star State of Mind. 

A specific release date for The Circle has not been announced yet, but it is expected to be released sometime in 2016.
