Glen Powell, Anthony Mackie, and Laura Dern to Star in John Lee Hancock's Legal Drama 'Monsanto' | THR News Video

Glenn Powell's on a roll with his newfound star power, next up a team up with Anthony Mackie and Laura Dern!

The 'Anyone But You' actor is next set to lead the legal drama Monsanto from writer-director John Lee Hancock with a cast that includes Mackie and Dern.

Per the producers, Monsanto tells the true story of young, untried attorney Brent Wisner played by Powell, who takes on a seemingly insurmountable case against the giant U.S. chemical company Monsanto on behalf of Dewayne "Lee" Johnson played by Mackie.

Johnson used the company's best-known product, Roundup, a wildly financially successful weed and grass pesticide killer, as part of his job as a high school groundskeeper and is now suffering illnesses.
