Taylor Kitsch, Alexandra Daddario, and Christopher Walken cast in true-crime thriller

Taylor Kitsch, Alexandra Daddario, and Christopher Walken will star in the upcoming true-crime thriller, ‘The Long Island Bank Robber’. Directed by Matthew Gentile, the film is based on the nonfiction book ‘Til Heist Do Us Part by Jeanne Callahan and Michael Harvey.

The story follows Stephen Trantel, portrayed by Kitsch, a former Wall Street commodities trader who turns to bank robbery to support his family after losing his job. Daddario will play his wife, Jeanne Trantel, who becomes increasingly suspicious of his activities while seeking independence. Walken will portray Stephen’s father, a retired police officer with a strong ethical code.

Production is scheduled to begin this month in New Jersey. Gentile, who previously directed ‘American Murderer’, described the project as a heist film that also explores themes of grief, survival, and marriage.
