Following a brief stint on The Office and a minor role in Todd Haynes’ Oscar favorite Carol, Jake Lacy has enlisted for gun control drama Miss Sloane, according to The Wrap.
John Madden is behind the lens for the button-pushing piece, which couldn’t be entering the mainstream at a more appropriate time following Barack Obama’s recent address about the regulation and restrictions surrounding the sale of firearms in the States. Lacy joins a cast that already boasts Jessica Chastain and The Newsroom‘s Alison Pill, though information about their respective characters in Madden’s feature hasn’t been disclosed.

Even from that brief description we can deduce that Chastain’s seasoned professional has a...

Here’s the new Viewfinder List, the entertainment industry survey which polls studio executives, producers and creatives for their top 10 short films, commercials and/or music videos. This is similar to The Black List, as the Viewfinder List honors short form content and the directors who made them. The list was created by producer Jeff Schroeder, Aaron Schmidt (Langley Park Pictures) and Patrick Chu (FilmNation). In recent years, some of the shorts have been optioned and some of their directors have gotten jobs — and hey, the attention never hurts. This year’s top vote-getter, Fool’s Day, was directed by Cody Blue Snider, the son of Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider.
