Amy Ryan Frank Whaley Danny Glover Thomas Lennon Holt McCallany and Barry Pepper also star

Dylan Minnette and Nick Robinson were also previously linked for roles but have since committed to other projects.

 Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger ("Kung Fu Panda") will pen the script from which  Chris Wedge ("Ice Age") is set to direct.

A  May 29th 2015 release date is eyed and production is slated to start this summer.
