Hope Davis, Bill Camp, Gaby Hoffmann & Rhenzy Feliz Among Final Additions To Kelly Reichardt’s MUBI Art Heist Film ‘The Mastermind’

EXCLUSIVE: Filmmaker Kelly Reichardt has rounded out an impressive cast for The Mastermind, her period art heist film for MUBI. Today’s nine additions include Hope Davis (Succession), Bill Camp (Joker), Gaby Hoffmann (Transparent), Amanda Plummer (Pulp Fiction), Eli Gelb (Broadway’s Stereophonic), Cole Doman (Gossip Girl), Javion Allen (Gray Matter), Matthew Maher (Air), and The Penguin breakout Rhenzy Feliz.

The actors join an ensemble led by Josh O’Connor, Alana Haim, and John Magaro. While all roles are under wraps, the film centers on an audacious art heist in New England in 1970. Production is underway and will conclude by end of year.

Known for films like First Cow and Old Joy, Reichardt is directing from her own script. Neil Kopp, Anish Savjani, and Vincent Savino are producing for filmscience, with MUBI financing the film and distributing in select territories, including North America, the UK, Ireland, LATAM, Germany, Austria, Benelux, Turkey, and India. The Match Factory is handling remaining worldwide sales for the project, for which UTA Independent Film Group arranged financing.

Filmscience comes to the project as a partner of Reichardt’s on all of her films since 2006’s Old Joy. The film will be the director’s second with MUBI, which acquired all rights internationally (outside of China) to First Cow, starring Magaro.
