Matt Donnelly Senior Film Writer James Cromwell, of “Succession” and “Babe” fame, will produce and star in a forthcoming film adaptation of the Eugene O’Neill play “The Hairy Ape.” Janek Ambros of Assembly Line Entertainment will write and direct the project, “Brute’s Revenge,” and co-produce alongside Emmy winner Cromwell.
The story follows an illiterate ocean liner worker named Yank who is branded a “filthy animal” by a powerful industrialist’s son.
Yank seeks revenge against this elite family and tries to find his place in society. Its source material was written in 1922, and was restaged off Broadway in 2017 at the Park Avenue Armory with Bobby Cannavale.
