iPOP Alumni Garrett Hedlund to star in 'The Ploughmen'

LOS ANGELES - EntSun -- iPOP Alumni Garrett Hedlund has been cast alongside Robert Duvall in the upcoming film adaption of the 2014 novel 'The Ploughmen'. The news was first reported by Deadline in March and comes as the feature begins pre-production.

In the film, Garrett will play the role of Valentine Millimaki, a low man in the Copper County sheriff's department. 'The Ploughmen' tells the story of an unlikely friendship between a haunted young deputy sheriff (Hedlund) and a notorious murderer that turns their worlds upside down. Scheduled on the night shift, Val is placed in close proximity to the killer. As Deadline states, "the men sit across from each other in the dark, talking through the bars of a county jail cell. John Gload is a killer so adept at his job that only now has he been apprehended. The young sheriff finds much in common with his prisoner, and dangerously seeks counsel from him." Robert Duvall will play the role of the killer, John Gload. Newcomer Lily Harris and Amy Madigan are also set for the film.
