Brendan Gleeson has joined the ensemble cast on Robert Redford’s latest ‘The Company You Keep’.

The Irish actor joins an impressive and mammoth cast including Redford himself in the lead role, Anna Kendrick (Up in the Air, Twilight), Terrence Howard (Crash, Iron Man), Shia LeBeouf (Transformers), Sam Elliott (Hulk, We Were Soldiers), Susan Sarandon (Dead Man Walking, Thelma & Louise), Brit Marling (Another Earth), Nick Nolte (The Thin Red Line), Richard Jenkins (Burn After Reading), Julie Christie (Finding Neverland), Stephen Root (No Country For Old Men, Rango), Stanley Tucci (The Terminal) and Chris Cooper (American Beauty) along with newcomer and finalist on ‘America’s Got Talent’ 11-year old Jackie Evancho.

‘The Company You Keep’ is based on Neil Gordon’s novel, with the screenplay adapted by ‘Haywire’ scribe Lem Dobbs. The thriller centres on a former activist in US domestic protest/terrorist organisation Weather Underground, Jim Grant (Redford), who goes on the run from a journalist (LeBeouf) who has discovered his real identity.

Gleeson will play Henry Osborne, a retired Police Chief who originally investigated the bank robbery that Jim was connected to in the 1960s.

Gleeson recently starred in the most successful Independent Irish film of all time, Reprisal Films/Element Pictures ‘The Guard’, which has taken over €4million at the Irish box office. Gleeson is also set do direct and star in Flann O’Brien adaptation ‘At Swim Two Birds’, which is currently in development.

‘The Company You Keep’ is currently shooting in Vancouver and is produced by Voltage Pictures and Redford’s Wildwood Enterprises. Redford is producing along with Bill Holderman, Nicolas Chartier, with Craig J. Flores executive producing.
