Bob Gunton has joined the cast to the new film "The 33."
Deadline reports that Gunton will play Chilean President Sebastián Piñera. The news comes a day after Gabriel Bryne ("Just a Sigh," "Miller's Crossing") joined the cast to the film, which is currently filming in Nemocon, Colombia and will later go to Chile.
The new film is based on the real-life event, when a gold and copper mine collapsed and trapped 33 miners underground for 69 days.
The film will also star Antonio Banderas ("The Skin I Live In," Despoerado," "Shrek 2"), James Brolin ("Catch Me If You Can," "Hotel," "Last Will"), Kate del Castillo ("La Reina Del Sur," "Under the Same Moon), Juliette Binoche ("The English Patient," "Cosmopolis," "Certified Copy"), and Rodrigo Santoro ("Rio," "I Love You Phillip Morris"). Patricia Riggen who is best known for her work in "Under the Same Moon" and "Girl in Progress" is directing while Robert Katz, Mike Medavoy, and Edward McGurn are producing. The film was written by Mikko Alanne, Jose Rivera, Michael John Bell and Craig Borten.
Gunton is best known for his work on "Argo," "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Runner Runner." He has also appeared in "Royal Pains," "Trouble with the Curve," and "The Lincoln Lawyer." He will next be seen in "The List," "Land of the Free," and "Mountain Top."
"The 33" currently has no release date or distributor and will most likely play at the Toronto Film Festival at the end of the year.
