Alec Griffen Roth has found his leading stars for his upcoming indie feature, Billy Knight - and he’s boasting a killer lineup. Today it was revealed that Al Pacino, Charlie Heaton, and Diana Silvers will lead the film in what will be Roth’s feature debut as both a writer and director.
The film will follow Alex and Emily , two grad school students who are chasing down their dreams of becoming filmmakers. For Alex, the entertainment bug runs in the family as his late father was a failed screenwriter who gave much of his time to the craft but ultimately never saw any of his productions brought to life. Hoping to leave some of his legacy behind, Alex’s father left his son a slew of unfinished scripts and a handkerchief with the name “Billy Knight” embroidered on it.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Pacino was last seen in Ridley Scott’s House of Gucci, and was recently announced to be co-producing the Johnny Depp helmed biopic Modigliani. Heaton just came off the uber-successful fourth season run of Stranger Things which locked in record-breaking numbers from viewers across Netflix.
Autumn Bailey-Ford and Cameron Burnett of Prominent Productions will produce alongside Sevier Crespo and Amanda Kiely. Sarah Sarandos, Josh Clayton, Kirk Martin, and Peter Bortel will fill out the executive production team. As of right now, Billy Knight doesn’t have a release window, but cameras are set to begin rolling this week. Stay tuned to Collider for more information as it becomes available.

Caleb McLaughlin Recalls Years of Racism From “Stranger Things” Fans“Sometimes it’s hard to talk about that and for people to understand. But when I was younger it definitely affected me a lot.' More successful than 99% of people his age but wants to complain about racism lmao. Ridiculous. You’re not as popular because your character sucks and you haven’t been in any other movies or shows A black kid speaks on the racism he’s experienced and you, douche edgelord on Twitter points to a follower count (as if that negates his experiences) and tell him to stop complaining. Yeah, he was talking about people like YOU. Again and again does he has some victim mentality issue the duffers are responsible for this for creating a negative shade for Lucas.
