Al Pacino will star in the adventure drama "Billy Knight"

Al Pacino has landed the lead role in the indie drama "Billy Knight," which will be the feature film debut of screenwriter and director Alec Griffen Roth. "Very Stranger Things" star Charlie Heaton and Diane Silvers ("Space Troopers") will join the maestro in the film, which begins shooting this week in Los Angeles.
The story centers on aspiring filmmakers Alex (Heaton) and Emily (Silvers). Alex is trying to cope with grief after the death of his father, a failed screenwriter. The only thing his father left him is a box of unfinished scripts and a handkerchief with Billy Knight's name embroidered on it. Alex embarks on an amazing Hollywood adventure to track down Billy Knight, all the while balancing on the edge between fiction and reality.
'Billy Knight' is a love letter to filmmaking, a fantasy steeped in the history of this great art form," Roth said in a statement. - It is also the story of two aspiring artists, the introspective struggle of a young man trying to find his own voice and understand what is important in life. To have the incomparable Al Pacino and the incredibly talented Charlie Heaton and Diane Silvers is a dream come true.
