As she makes progress towards shooting, writer-turned-director Andrea Berloff is adding some impressively talented people to the cast of The Kitchen. The latest name for the list is Margo Martindale.
Berloff has adapted from the 2014 graphic novel series by Ollie Masters and Ming Doyle that hit shelves from Vertigo.
The story follows what happens when an FBI sweep captures a group of Irish mob leaders in 1970s Hell's Kitchen. With the criminal organisation in chaos, the wives of the men take over and start to run their illicit business in a much more vicious fashion than they ever did. Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish and Elisabeth Moss are all aboard, with Martindale as a woman who runs the mob behind the scenes before the trio takes control.
And she's not the only person joining up, as fellow screen veterans Bill Camp and Brian D'Arcy James will also show up, with Camp as the head of an Italian crime family and James as Martindale's husband. The cameras should be rolling in May and a release date has been set for September next year.
