Nathan Lane, Patti Lupone, and Amy Ryan have been cast alongside Joaquin Phoenix in Ari Aster’s Disappointment Blvd

As a fan of Ari Aster’s films, It’s great to see his upcoming film will be quite stacked!

Deadline has reported that Nathan Lane and Patti LuPone along with Academy Award nominee Amy Ryan and Kylie Rogers have joined A24’s Disappointment Blvd., starring Joaquin Phoenix. A24 came on earlier this year to finance and produce after Phoenix made it his follow-up after winning the Best Actor Oscar for Joker.

Aster, whose past two films were also financed by A24, will write and direct, with Aster and Lars Knudsen producing under their Square Peg banner. Elisa Alvares and Timo Argillander of IPR.VC will exec produce. While project details are being kept under wraps, but the plot is

described as an intimate, decades-spanning portrait of one of the most successful entrepreneurs of all time.
