EXCLUSIVE: Glee star Dianna Agron has joined U.S. gun crisis drama The Gun On Second Street, which began filming this week.
Described as “an allegory of the gun crisis in the United States”, the film follows two Pittsburgh police partners and best friends who are called to an uneventful domestic violence dispute on Second Street. When Officer TJ Meadows III accidentally kills his partner, Kevin Cooper, he is left traumatized. Years later, no longer a cop, he returns to Pittsburgh and falls for Kevin’s widow, Kacie, as they both confront their painful past.
Co-starring with Agron are Jack Kesy and Tom Arnold, with supporting cast including former boxer Nicola Adams.
As previously reported, writer, producer, and director is Rohit Karn Batra (Line Of Descent) of The Film Compartment. Guy J. Louthan of Ransom Films will produce with Batra.
Rikin Shah, U.S. Congressman and California Governor hopeful Eric Swalwell, and Projected Picture Works partners Sean Penn, John Ira Palmer, and John Wildermuth will executive-produce.
Agron recently wrapped biopic Mattress Mack, opposite Billy Magnussen, and Flint, a Western noir in which she stars opposite Josh Holloway. She is best known for her breakout role on Fox hit Glee, and most recently appeared in the Netflix series El Elegido, based on Mark Millar’s American Jesus. She made her theatrical debut in the West End production of McQueen.
She is represented by Paradigm Talent Agency and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller.
