Jason Schmidt added to cast of Angelina Jolie-led noir thriller 'Sunny'

The film also stars Charlie Plummer and Cliff "Method Man" Smith, further enriching a cast that balances emerging performers with established screen presence.
While details about Schmidt's role are being kept under wraps, the actor will appear as one of Jolie's two sons, alongside Plummer. The casting marks a notable reunion of sorts for Schmidt, who previously originated the role of Sodapop in "The Outsiders", the Tony Award-winning stage musical produced by Jolie, reports DEADLINE.
Riffing on classic mafia films, Sunny follows a female gangster who fights to protect her sons – and herself – from an abusive drug kingpin. But when a devastating event occurs, she only has a matter of hours to plot their permanent escape.
Hailing from Gramercy Park Media, A Higher Standard, and Nickel City Pictures, Sunny is written by William Day Frank, who conceived the story with Sørhaug. Gramercy Park Media’s Nathan Klingher is producing alongside Jolie, Nickel City Pictures’ Mark Fasano and A Higher Standard’s Jeffrey Greenstein, in association with Choice Films, with Sørhaug exec producing.
An up-and-comer heretofore best known for starring in Paramount ’s Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, Schmidt has also appeared on shows like FBI: Most Wanted and And Just Like That…
