The Death and Life of John F. Donovan

Xavier Dolan has cast Game of Thrones’ Kit Harington opposite Jessica Chastain in…The Death and Life of John F. Donovan, which writer-director Dolan is prepping…Harington will play the titular American movie star, whose correspondence with an 11-year-old actor living with his mother in England is exposed, prompting ill-founded assumptions that begin to destroy his life and career.

Chastain is attached to play the editrix of celebrity-dishing magazine The Gossip, who targets Donovan as his pen pal relationship is exposed in the public eye.
