One of the stars of the “Friday Night Lights” television show is shooting a new movie in Texas.
Taylor Kitsch, who played Tim Riggins in the Texas-set series, leads the hostage thriller “11 Days,” which also stars Diego Luna and Jason Isaacs. The movie is based on William T. Harper’s book “Eleven Days in Hell: The 1974 Carrasco Prison Siege at Huntsville, Texas.”
“11 Days” director Peter Landesman announced on Instagram this week that production has started.
“In 1974 Texas, a prison warden faces off against a drug dealer whose failed escape attempt turns into a tense 11-day hostage crisis, challenging everyone’s moral boundaries as the standoff intensifies,” the film’s logline reads.
