EXCLUSIVE: Ernie Hudson (Grace and Frankie) has signed on to star alongside Alexander Ludwig and Emma Roberts in Hal, an indie drama based on a true story that we reported on yesterday.
No word on the role to be played by Hudson. Entering production in Atlanta in a few days, Hal is a Zero Gravity Management production following Hal Donaldson, a journalist shaped by early hardship who believes his voice is his path forward. When he meets Doree, a gifted musician, their relationship becomes the foundation that steadies him as his career takes him to places marked by deep suffering.
As Hal witnesses crisis and inequality firsthand, the line between observing and acting begins to blur. Confronted with the limits of telling stories alone, he is drawn toward a calling that requires more than words — setting in motion the events that lead to the creation of the humanitarian organization Convoy of Hope.
Mark Williams (Ozark, The Accountant) is directing from a script by Mark Edwin Robinson.
Known for roles in the Ghostbusters franchise, Grace and Frankie, The Crow and much more, Hudson currently stars in the series The Family Business and Boston Blue. Upcoming, he’ll be seen in A24’s Famous and will be heard voicing the role of Combat Carl in Toy Story 5. He is repped by Independent Artist Group and Zero Gravity Management.
