Dinklage will play Julian, one of the brothers at the center of the story, and Deadline says the setting will be shifted to Colombia instead of Nicaragua. Addition casting is underway, but Dinklage is the only actor attached at the moment.
The first comparable film that comes to mind when reading this synopsis is Alfonso Cuaron’s Children of Men, which I’m increasingly convinced is one of the best movies ever made. If Last Sons of America is even half as good, I’ll be cheering in the streets. Dinklage has such an extensive range that he can pull off just about anything, so I’ll be happy to see him take the lead in a big project like this (unless he’s overshadowed by like, Brad Pitt or somebody like that who ends up playing the other brother). This will be his second post-apocalyptic movie of the past few years, following his soulful performance in 2018’s I Think We’re Alone Now.
Josh Mond, who directed the 2015 drama James White and produced Simon Killer and Martha Marcy May Marlene, is on board to write and direct this film. While we wait for more casting news, check out one of Mond’s short films, titled 1009:
