Susan Sarandon is reuniting with her Speed Racer co-star John Goodman to join the cast of the Barry Levinson helmed Jack Kevorkian biopic You Don't Know Jack says The Hollywood Reporter.Al Pacino is Kevorkian, known as Dr. Death, who assisted in more than 130 suicides. After willingly sending a videotape of himself euthanizing a terminally ill man to 60 Minutes he was convicted in 1999 of second-degree murder and spent eight years in prison.
Goodman will play Nicol, a friend and co-worker of Kevorkian since 1961 and a steadfast supporter of the right to die.
Sarandon will play Janet Good, an activist with the Hemlock Society who becomes one of Jack's greatest supporters, working side by side with him to make humane suicide available to the terminally ill and suffering.
Adam Mazer's script is loosely based on the book Between the Dying and the Dead.
