Deadline is reporting that X-Men: Apocalypse and EastEnders star Ben Hardy is set to join the cast of the upcoming firefighter drama Granite Mountain (formerly titled No Exit).
The film is based on the real-life of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, “an elite group of 20 firefighters who courageously battled one of the deadliest wildfires in history to save the homes and lives of other Arizonians. Nineteen of the men died heroes on that hill when the wind changed and fire engulfed them from all sides.”
