Taylor Kitsch joins Xavier Dolan’s The Death and Life of John F. Donovan

November 19, 2015 by Gary Collinson

The Wrap is reporting that Taylor Kitsch has lined up his first project following the second season of True Detective, joining Jessica Chastain and Kit Harington in Xavier Dolan’s English-language debut The Death and Life of John F. Donovan.

The film is described as “a drama that follows a young actor [Harington] who recalls the secretive correspondence he shared as a teenager with an American TV star who died 10 years earlier. The story explores the hardships of fame and the never-ending hurdles of the movie business, and reflects on issues of identity and diversity in Hollywood over the past decade.”

The Death and Life of John F. Donovan will also star Susan Sarandon and Kathy Bates, and will reportedly feature the acting debut of British singer Adele.
