Al Pacino, Meadows Williams Join MoviePass Films’ ‘Axis Sally’
Al Pacino and Meadow Williams have signed on to the latest addition to MoviePass Films’ production slate: “Axis Sally,” a true story drama Mildred Gellars, the woman who unwittingly became the voice of Nazi propaganda aimed at U.S. troops during World War II, earning the titular nickname.
Williams will play Gellars, with Pacino playing the lawyer tasked with representing Gellars after she was arrested on eight counts of treason. Vance Owen and Darryl Hicks wrote the script, which is adapted from the William Owen nonfiction book “Axis Sally Confidential.” Michael Polish will direct the film, which will start filming in January.
