News about the development of Prisoner’s Daughter was announced to the public by Deadline last January when Kate signed on for the film.
The film centers on a terminally ill ex-convict whose violent past haunts him as he tries to reconnect with his daughter and grandson.
In addition to Kate and Brian, the film stars are cast members such as Tyson Ritter, Jon Huertas and Ernie Hudson.
Director Catherine Hardwicke previously spoke to Deadline and explained that her feature film would tell a potentially disturbing but moving story.
The filmmaker described Prisoner’s Daughter as “a raw, personal look at a deeply fractured family”.
The director then remarked that she started work on the project with a clear intention in mind.
“I want the viewer to be fully immersed in the intense world of Kate’s character as she, her father and young son try to heal a generation’s family trauma and find a new way forward,” she said.
Producer Marina Grasic said she and her staff are thrilled to be working with both Hardwicke and the film’s star.
“We are honored to work with Catherine and Kate – artists who can bring this important and inspiring story to life,” she said.
Sam Okun, who also produced the feature film, commented on the impact of Mark Bacci’s script.
“Anyone who has read Mark’s powerful and dramatic script has been blown away by his emotional storytelling,” he said.
