Laura Linney Joins Viggo Mortensen in FALLING

Laura Linney has joined the cast of Viggo Mortensen's family drama "Falling," according to Variety. Hannah Gross and Terry Chen have also joined the film's cast.

The film will be Mortensen's directorial debut. He also wrote the screenplay, and is playing one of the two leading roles.

The film follows a son's relationship with his aging father. Mortensen will portray a man who lives with his male partner, played by Chen, and their adopted daughter in Southern California. Linney will play his sister and Gross will portray his mother. Lance Henriksen will play the father, a farmer whose attitudes and behavior belong to a far more traditional era and family model. He travels to Los Angeles for an indefinite stay with his family as he deals with memory loss.

Production on the film is currently underway in Toronto. It will also shoot in Los Angeles.

Linney is best known for her Academy Award nominated roles in "You Can Count on Me," "Kinsey," and "The Savages." Mortensen has also earned Oscar nominations for "Green Book," "Eastern Promises," and "Captain Fantastic."
