David Arquette To Star In APALACHIN

David Arquette is set to star as the lead in APALACHIN, an indie feature being directed by Danny A. Abeckaser, according to Deadline.

Abeckaser also wrote the script with Jon Carlo for the film that began shooting this past Monday.

APALACHIN is based on a 1957 true story following local trooper Ed Croswell (Arquette), who foils the plans of mobster Vito Genovese, who organized 50 of his friends and colleagues to converge upon the rural town of Apalachin in upstate New York for a summit. Croswell's actions unknowingly exposed the mob to the American public and changed the face of law enforcement forever.

The film will also star Jennifer Esposito, Robert Davi, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, PJ Byrne and Abeckaser.

The film is set for a 2019 release.
