Jon Bernthal goes for 'Snitch'
By Adnan Tezer Nov 15, 2011, 20:28 GMT
Jon Bernthal has joined the cast of Exclusive Media's action thriller "Snitch."
According to Deadline.com, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Susan Sarandon have been cast.
Ric Roman Waugh ("Felon") is directing and rewriting an original script by Justin Haythe.
Nigel Sinclair, Guy East, Alex Brunner, David Fanning, Gordon Gray and Johnson are producing.
The story centers on a father (Johnson) whose teenage son is sentenced to 30 years under mandatory minimum drug laws. In order to have his son's sentence reduced, the father goes undercover to rat out a powerful drug dealer.
The story was inspired by a PBS "Frontline" documentary detailing recent shifts in U.S. drug laws toward federal mandatory sentencing minimums and how these shifts had, in turn, forced the guilty to snitch on others.
Bernthal can be currently seen on AMC's "The Walking Dead."
