Phillip Messina will direct the screen version of the Off-Broadway play The Castle, which will feature Vilma Ortiz Donavan, Kenneth Harrigan, Angel Ramos and Casimiro Torres — all of whom share their own real-life stories about being in prison. Shooting will take place in Manhattan beginning on December 7, with a portion of the film to be filmed before convicts in a New York Correctional Facility.
The Castle was conceived and directed Off-Broadway by David Rothenberg, who founded The Fortune Society, a non-profit organization that helps put men and women, recently emerged from prison to reenter society.
