\n\tOliver Stone<\/a> has quietly wrapped production on drama White Lies, and a few key past collaborators have revealed to be part of the cast.<\/p>\n

\n\tMichael Douglas<\/a>, who starred in Stone\u2019s Wolf of Wall Street, and Willem Dafoe<\/a>, who appeared in the filmmaker\u2019s Platoon and Born on the Fourth of July, are on the cast list, it was announced Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso on the call sheet were Ellen Barkin<\/a> and Homer Gere<\/a>, all who joined the previously-reported Josh Hartnett, who is toplining the indie, and Yvonne Chapman. The feature marks the first narrative movie in over a decade.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe cast was a delight from beginning to end. And the Italian crew was the warmest I ever worked with. I\u2019m profoundly grateful for this opportunity,\u201d said Stone in a statement.<\/p>\n

\n\tWritten and directed by Stone, the movie is described as being an intimate and provocative drama that explores family, loss, pain and uncovers how love can change shape during our lifetimes.<\/p>\n

\n\tPer the producers, Lies is told across three generations and \u201cfollows Jack Freeman (Hartnett), a child of divorce now repeating his parents\u2019 mistakes in his own marriage and with his own children. Feeling trapped, he embarks on a lust-filled journey to escape\u2014only to find himself more lost than before. When he meets a woman, whose life is the opposite of his own, he begins an unexpected journey on the path of rediscovery.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFernando Sulichin is producing alongside Maximilien Arvelaiz and Jordan Gertner for Sulichin\u2019s New Element Media. The company previously backed Stone movies Savages and Snowden.<\/p>\n

\n\tTarak Ben Ammar and Gianluca Leurini of Eagle Pictures and James Packer and Jose Luis Manzano are executive producing.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe are immensely proud of what Oliver, his cast and crew have accomplished,\u201d said Sulichin in a statement. \u201cIt was thrilling to reunite Oliver with Willem and Michael, two extraordinary actors who starred in his iconic films Platoon and Wall Street respectively, and to see him work with Ellen, whom he has known and admired for many years. It has also been a joy to see Oliver work with the amazingly talented Homer and Yvonne for the first time. We look forward to bringing this film to audiences worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDouglas\u2019 last major big-screen outing was Marvel\u2019s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania while Dafoe\u2019s recent credits include Wes Anderson\u2019s Phoenician Scheme and Robert Eggers\u2019 Nosferatu.<\/p>\n

\n\tBarkin recently appeared in Netflix\u2019s The Out-Laws with Pierce Brosnan while Gere, the son of Richard Gere, had a stint on Euphoria.<\/p>\n
