‘The Red Robin’ Experiments on Mind Control
Producers of The Red Robin have tapped Judd Hirsch (pictured below; “Taxi”), Ryan O’Nan, C.S. Lee, Jaime Ray Newman, Caroline Lagerfelt and Joseph Lyle Taylor to star in the psychological thriller, reports Variety. Screenwriter Michael Z. Wechsler will direct and produce.
“O’Nan will play the adopted adult son of Hirsch’s character — a famed psychiatrist specializing in trauma who was rumored to have done some confidential work for the CIA during the Cold War. A family reunion on the psychiatrist’s death bed spirals into chaos when the father’s accused of adopting his large family of children for the purposes of dark experiments in mind control.”
“The Red Robin” begins production outside Philadelphia this weekend.
