Di Bonaventura Pictures and Nick Wechsler Productions are producing.
Senior vp of production Mark Ross and vp of production Alex Ginno are overseeing the project for CBS Films.
The film will be co-financed by CBS Films and Lionsgate with CBS Films handling production and marketing and Lionsgate handling distribution.
Kitsch broke through playing heartthrobby football player Tim Riggins in Friday Night Lights and also starred in the big-budget tentpoles John Carter and Battleship. He appeared in HBO’s acclaimed AIDS drama The Normal Heart and starred in season 2 of HBO’s True Detective.
Kitsch is repped by CAA, Untitled Entertainment and Hansen Jacobson.
