Stage veterans Carla Gugino, James Spader, and Treat Williams, along with Eric Bana, Kim Coates, and Ryan Phillipe will star in By Virtue Fall, according to Hollywood Reporter. Sheldon Turner is directing and has written the script for the project.

The movie centers on a pair of ATF agents who end up enemies after one frames the other for a crime.

Gugino’s stage credits include Desire Under the Elms and After the Fall on Broadway and Suddenly Last Summer Off-Broadway. Her film credits include Watchmen, Race to Witch Mountain, Faster, and Sucker Punch.

Spader starred in David Mamet’s Race on Broadway. He is perhaps best known for his work on such television series as The Practice and Boston Legal.


Williams’ Broadway credits include Follies, The Pirates of Penzance, Once in a Lifetime, and Grease. Among his recent film credits are 127 Hours and Howl, as well as Blackbird, which also stars Bana.
