The film will be executive produced under the Danny McBride/Jody Hill company Rough House Pictures.
Principle photography is set to begin in November, but there is currently to release date or other casting details just yet.
I think I speak for a lot of people when I say I hope this will be a return to form for David Gordon Green. George Washington remains one of my favorites, an I would love to see him return the gritty south in a drama.
