A financial thriller called, inexplicably, “A Conspiracy on Jekyll Island,” is about to head into production with Frank Grillo leading a cast that also includes Minnie Driver, John Leguizamo, Dianna Agron, Ed Westwick and Maggie Q, according to Variety.
Aram Rappaport wrote and will direct the film starring Grillo as an ex-Wall Street businessman who is tasked by the Secretary of the Treasury with saving the American economy from a cyber attack: “With the help of his wife, he recruits his rag tag team of misfits, and prepares to save the world from total financial implosion.” The title seems to suggest it’ll have some connection to a real life conspiracy that’s linked to a secret meeting US Senators had with Wall Street bigwigs on the Georgian resort island Jekyll Island in the year 1910. The meeting is theorized by the crazies to have led to the Federal Reserve System. Who ever said economics was boring?! Filming begins next month.
Grillo can soon be seen as villain Crossbones in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” while “Glee” alum Agron next has indie drama “Pretenders” with Michael B. Jordan, Anton Yelchin and Imogen Poots. “Gossip Girl” star Westwick recently played Tybalt in the new “Romeo and Juliet” and is shooting monster mash-up comedy “The Kitchen Sink.”I
