Rounding out the cast are Sam Jay (You People), Duke George, Wass Stevens (Lansky), Gregg Bello (Crown Vic) and Matthew J. Perry. As previously announced, Shirley MacLaine, Stephen Dorff, Julia Mayorga and Allegra Leguizamo also star.
People Not Places follows Clare (MacLaine), an elderly widow living in Atlantic City, as she meets an erratic homeless man (Dorff) who sleeps in cars. Their shared loneliness causes them to bond as they find the courage to face his regrettable past and her foreshortened future.
Furman and Jess Fuerst (Tin Soldier, City of Lies) are producing the film under their Road Less Traveled Productions banner. Jim Seibel (Nyad, The Grey) and Kyle David Crosby (Mending the Line, Bring On the Dancing Horses) are also producing.
