Based on J R Moehringer's memoir of the same name, the drama will also feature Tye Sheridan.

David Zander of MJZ will produce the movie in collaboration with Hardy and Dean Baker.

"Ben Hardy is Angel - I shall confirm it for you. But he's not a very nice Angel! And that's all I'll say..." Singer said.

The British actor is eyeing a 'key, as-yet-undisclosed' role in the upcoming movie directed by Bryan Singer, reported TheWrap.
