Michael Stuhlbarg, Douglas Booth and more join Kevin Spacey in Gore Vidal biopic

September 18, 2017 by Gary Collinson

Back in July it was announced that Kevin Spacey is set to take on the role of celebrated American writer Gore Vidal in a feature film biopic at Netflix, and now the streaming service has released details of the supporting cast for Gore.

Joining Spacey in the Michael Hoffman (The Last Station) directed film are Michael Stuhlbarg (A Serious Man, Boardwalk Empire), Douglas Booth (Mary Shelley), Freya Mavor (The Sense of An Ending), Nikolai Kinski (Yves Saint Laurent), and Griffin Dunne (Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold, War Machine).

Gore will explore the life of the author, playwright and political commentator during the 1980s, as he retreats to his Italian home La Rondinaia following his failed effort in the California State primary election. The film is set for release in 2018.
