EXCLUSIVE: Academy Award nominee Jackie Earle Haley (Little Children) and longtime The Walking Dead cast member Ross Marquand have signed on to star alongside Daniel Roebuck (Rob Zombie’s The Munsters) in the crime thriller Tuesday’s Flu, which Roebuck is directing from a script by brothers Stephen and Brian Parri.
‘Tuesday’s Flu’ is the term that bookies use when gamblers conveniently disappear after the weekend’s losses. The film heading into production next month on the East Coast tells the story of Jason McCutchen (Marquand), a compulsive gambler who finds himself heavily in debt to an unsympathetic bookie. Lester Smalls (Haley) offers him a way out — one last shot — with the downside being that Jason could lose his son in the gamble. Drewlin Productions is producing in association with CMN, LLC and Magic Bean Entertainment.
Haley landed his Oscar nom for his supporting turn in Tár helmer Todd Field’s 2006 romantic drama Little Children, and is otherwise best known for turns as Freddy Krueger in 2010’s A Nightmare on Elm Street, and as Rorschach in Zack Snyder’s Watchmen. The actor stars alongside Billy Bob Thornton in the recently released crime thriller Devil’s Peak and also recently lent his voice to the Netflix animated feature, My Father’s Dragon. Other notable credits include the films Alita: Battle Angel, London Has Fallen, Lincoln, Dark Shadows and Shutter Island, as well as such series as The First Lady, The Tick and Preacher. Haley will also soon be seen in the Netflix action-thriller The Union (w/t) — formerly titled Our Man from Jersey — as well as the action-comedy The Retirement Plan with Nicolas Cage.
Marquand is best known for his performance as walker apocalypse survivor Aaron across seven seasons
