AceShowbiz - Clive Owen, Maria Bello, and Jaeden Lieberher are announced as part of the ensemble cast of "The Confirmation". The directorial debut of "Nebraska" scribe Bob Nelson has also nabbed Patton Oswalt, Tim Blake Nelson, Robert Forster, Matthew Modine and Stephen Tobolowsky.
"The Confirmation" is a drama centering on Lieberher and Owen's characters as father and son. Per Deadline, 8-year-old Anthony and his estranged father spend two days together for the first time in forever, as the boy's mom (Bello) and new husband (Modine) head off to a religious retreat.
Their mutual unease is exacerbated when the father's truck breaks down, his landlord locks him out of his house, and the toolbox that provides his living gets stolen. As they search for the stolen tools with help from an odd neighbor (Oswalt), the father and son begin to establish a connection.
Filming is underway in Canada. Nelson produces with Todd Hoffman while Robert Halmi Jr, Jim Reeve and Robert Friedman exec produce.
