Five Join Miller's 'Bottle Shock'
Bring in Pine, Taylor, Dushku, Pullman and Rickman
An impressive cast of names are set to join Randall Miller's drama Bottle Shock. The five actors committed to star include Chris Pine, Rachael Taylor, Eliza Dushku, Bill Pullman and Alan Rickman as they set out to tell a story of the birth of the Napa Valley wine industry.
The pic is set in the 1970s, the film is based on the true story of the Montelena Winery, which won an international wine-tasting competition and put the California region on the vino map.
Pine portrays the son of the vineyard owner who saves the winery and represents Napa in the French tasting, while Taylor plays a university student who interns at the winery.
Dushku acts as a local bartender, and Pullman is the owner of the run-down winery who clashes with his son.
Rickman is an Englishman who runs L'Academie du Vin in Paris and is the chief architect of the blind-tasting challenge that results in an upset victory for the American vintages.
Miller penned the script with Jody Savin from an original script by Ross Schwartz. Pic begins lensing in August in Napa and Sonoma.
