Armie Hammer, Sir Ben Kingsley, Michael Sheen, John Malkovich and Theresa Palmer have all joined the cast of “Cut Bank,” an indie film with a script from Robert Patino that made the 2009 Black List.
Matt Shakman, whose credits include “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” and “House,” will direct.
The film is set in the eponymous rural Montana town, a city of fewer than 3,000 located near a gorge that gave the place its name. The story revolves around an auto mechanic and onetime football player who want to leave the sleepy and old-fashioned town.

Hammer just appeared in “Mirror Mirror” and is currently shooting “Lone Ranger” while Kingsley, fresh off a turn in “Hugo,” will next appear in “The Dictator.”
