Levon Hawke will star opposite Anthony Hopkins in the drama "Twenty-Seven". The project marks Hawke's first lead role. Hawke, 24, is an actor and composer, the son of Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman and the younger brother of Maya Hawke.
The story
"Twenty-Seven" is written and directed by Gregory Caruso. It follows a 27-year-old aspiring screenwriter, played by Hawke, who navigates his relationships and manages his obsessive-compulsive disorder while trying to break into the film industry.
Hopkins, 88, will portray the young man's friend and mentor. The character is an 80-year-old former television actor turned theater professor who is living with Parkinson's disease. Caruso said he wrote the character hoping someone like Hopkins would play him but never imagined it would actually be Hopkins.
Production
The film is from Caruso's Bristol Pictures and is currently in production in Los Angeles. David Worthen Brooks is producing alongside Dustin Cook.
