3:15 Entertainment Group, a Sacramento-area production company, announced today that Stephen Baldwin and Eric Roberts have signed on to star in "Power & Pride," a political drama/thriller set in Sacramento at the State Capitol.
Actor, family man, born-again Christian - Stephen Baldwin makes his home in upstate New York with his wife and two young daughters. Through an impressive body of work, he is one of the most sought-after male talents in film and television today. Still, his family and new-found faith are most important to him. The youngest of the Baldwin brothers acting clan, Baldwin (37) is one of the few Hollywood actors versatile enough for key roles in everything from The Usual Suspects to Bio-Dome. Most recently, he appeared in NBC's "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here" reality show.
Eric Roberts is an Academy Award nominee for his role in Runaway Train and a three-time Golden Globe nominee for Runaway Train, Star 80 and King of the Gypsies. He also won a Golden Satellite Award for the 2002 season of Less Than Perfect. 2008 saw Eric Roberts in Chris Nolan’s Batman – The Dark Knight, along with one of the most incredible casts ever assembled. This follows a stint on Heroes – A job that ranks as one of Eric’s favorites. Eric strives to be associated with more comedy, hence he appeared in Larry The Cable Guy’s movie, Witless Protection.
Power & Pride tells the story of a popular Senator (Baldwin) who has drifted from his faith and family as he’s begun to compromise his values. A top political consultant convinces the Senator to run for Governor, and his decision triggers a series of complications that soon has the Senator caught up in a mix of political intrigue, scandal and tragedy – ultimately forcing him to confront who he is and what he’s become. “We’re very excited with this film,” said Jeff Evans, Producer/Director. “While it’s written for the underserved faith-based market, the story of political intrigue and corruption is certain to appeal to a broader audience.” Power & Pride begins principal photography this summer in Sacramento and Folsom, California. |
