The cast list for Peter Berg’s based-on-reality drama Deepwater Horizon continues to grow. Kate Hudson is the latest new recruit for the film.
Deepwater Horizon, which also features Mark Wahlberg, Gina Rodriguez, Kurt Russell and John Malkovich, charts the events on the BP oil rig in the 48 hours leading up to the 2010 disaster and the day itself. The behind-the-scenes tale will highlight stories of real-life heroism around the incident, which were not made public at the time but appeared in the script’s source material, a New York Times article entitled 'Deepwater Horizon’s Final Hour'. The paper’s piece chronicled how 11 people were killed and 16 injured when the rig blew, and gushed oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Hudson has made a deal to play Felicia Williams, wife of rig engineer Mike (Wahlberg).
Matthew Michael Carnahan has adapted the script for the film, which J.C. Chandor had originally signed to direct, but dropped out to be replaced by Berg. He should have the cameras rolling this summer ready for a September 30, 2016 release in the States.
Hudson, last seen in Wish I Was Here, will next show up in Good People, due August 21. She’s also part of the cast for music comedy Rock The Kasbah.
