Deadline is reporting that Michael Shannon has signed on to star in the indie comedy drama Pottersville, where he’ll appear alongside Judy Greer, Tom Lennon, Ron Perlman, Christina Hendricks and Ian McShane.
Pottersville “centers on Maynard (Shannon), a beloved local businessman who is mistaken for the legendary Bigfoot during an inebriated romp through town in a makeshift gorilla costume. The sightings set off an international Bigfoot media spectacle and a windfall of tourism dollars for a simple American town hit by hard times. When Brock Masterson (Lennon), reality TV’s Monster Hunter, arrives to hunt the beast, Maynard agonizes over whether to come clean, destroying the rebirth of his beloved town, or perpetuate the inadvertent hoax.”
Seth Henrikson is making his feature length directorial debut on the film, which has been scripted by Dan Meyer.
