Tyrese Gibson and Armie Hammer board dark comedy-thriller 'Mascotland'

Los Angeles, Feb 16 (UNI) Tyrese Gibson, Billy Zane, Jake Busey and Armie Hammer have joined the ensemble of the offbeat indie feature Mascotland, a darkly comic coming-of-age thriller written and directed by Kerry Mondragon.
Previously titled "Mascots", the genre-blending feature has undergone several casting changes since its initial announcement last year. Principal photography is now underway across Los Angeles and the surrounding desert terrain. Salomé Breziner produces, with cinematography by Ben Braham Ziryab.
Zane stars as a disturbed kidnapper whose victims escape into the real world for the first time.
The young adult brothers, played by Oliver Hibbs Wyman (Toad) and Blaine Kern III, struggle to adjust after a lifetime in captivity. Their story transforms into a redemptive one after they’re taken in by Gibson’s character. Busey will play the role originally planned for Udo Kier, who passed away late last year.
Also starring are Leo Fitzpatrick, James Paxton, Lin Shaye and Felicia ‘Snoop’ Pearson of The Wire fame, reports DEADLINE.
