Ben Foster (Hell or High Water, 3:10 to Yuma), Manny Jacinto (The Good Place, Freakier Friday), and Fiona Shaw (Bad Sisters) have signed on to star in the upcoming film The Stalemate, an absurdist Western comedy from first-time feature filmmaker Nicholas Arioli, who’s directing from his own script. Currently in production in Santa Fe, New Mexico, The Stalemate focuses on a robber (Jacinto) and sheriff (Foster) who, out of bullets and far from town, must negotiate their way out of an absurd, unending chase in the Old West.“I spent many years writing this completely absurd movie,” Arioli said, “and I’m honored to work with such an incredible team who are as excited as I am to bring it to life. The Stalemate is part wacky buddy comedy, part poignant Western elegy – and just straight up a ton of fun. We can’t wait to share it!”In the meantime, Foster will next be seen starring opposite Sydney Sweeney in David Michôd’s biopic on boxer Christy Martin. Recently, he wrapped shooting Motor City opposite Shailene Woodley.Jacinto most recently starred in Disney+’s Star Wars series The Acolyte from Leslye Headland. Upcoming, he’ll be seen starring opposite Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis in Freakier Friday, which hits theaters on August 8, and in the indie rom-com Love Language.Recently seen starring in John Krasinski’s IF, as well as the hit series Bad Sisters (Apple) and True Detective: Night Country (HBO), Shaw will be seen in a pair of films releasing later this year: Hot Milk, directed by Rebecca Lenkiewizc, and Apple’s Echo Valley, opposite Julianne Moore and Sweeney.via: Deadline
