The indie film 'Thelma' stars Kathy Bates as the mother of 'Confederacy of Dunces' author John Kennedy Toole.
In a big casting announcement from Deadline, Kathy Bates, John Malkovich, and Lewis Pullman have all signed on to star in a new indie film. The feature, titled Thelma, will be directed by two-time Emmy Award nominee Ken Kwapis, who is known for his work behind the camera on shows such as #BlackAF and The Office.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY In a statement, Kwapis sounded eager to get to work on the incredible story alongside the star-studded cast, saying, “Thelma Toole is one of the most audacious characters I’ve ever encountered, and I can imagine no one better to bring her tenacity to life than Kathy Bates. With rising star Lewis Pullman in the role of her gifted, if doomed, son and John Malkovich playing literary legend Walker Percy, I feel we’re putting together a real confederacy of brilliance.
A staple and fan favorite in the universe of Brad Falchuk and Ryan Murphy’s spooky anthology series, American Horror Story, Bates earned her 13th Emmy nomination for her role in the fifth season of the series back in 2016. Next up, Bates will be appearing in the Kelly Fremon Craig adaptation of Judy Blume’s timeless YA novel, Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.
