James Caan, Gabriel Macht, Peter Stormare and Rachael Taylor have joined the cast of indie drama "Middle Men," a chronicle of the birth of the Internet porn industry.
Project has a SAG waiver and will start shooting later this month in Phoenix, with George Gallo directing from the script he wrote with Andy Weiss. Luke Wilson and Giovanni Ribisi star.
Pic is being financed through Christopher Mallick's Oxymoron. Mallick and Blue Star Entertainment's William Sherak and Jason Shuman ("Bangkok Dangerous," "The Messengers") will produce along with Michael Weiss.
Script centers on a straight-and-narrow businessman who builds the first online billing company dealing exclusively with adult entertainment and finds himself in the middle of a whirlwind filled with starlets, conmen, Russian mobsters, federal agents and international terrorists.
