Exclusive: Adam Tsekhman has been cast in Dreamland, joining Oscar winner Gary Oldman, Armie Hammer, Evangeline Lilly, Michelle Rodriguez, and Lily-Rose Depp in the film that tackles the international opioid crisis. Nicholas Jarecki is directing the thriller from his own original script.
The plot revolves around three colliding stories: a drug trafficker (Hammer) arranges a multi-cartel Fentanyl smuggling operation between Canada and the U.S.; an architect (Lilly) recovering from an OxyContin addiction tracks down the truth behind her son’s involvement with narcotics; and a university professor (Oldman) battles unexpected revelations about his employer, a drug company with deep government influence bringing a new “non-addictive” painkiller to market.
Tsekhman will play Armen, an Armenian gangster and Undercover DEA agent’s partner in his drug operation.
Jarecki and Cassian Elwes financed the project through Jarecki’s Green Room Films and are also producing the pic. Exec producers are Michael Suppes,...
