Sam Shepard is attached to appear in the unnecesarily long titled Descending From Heaven: The Strange and Extraordinary Tale of Claude Eatherly, A-Bomb Pilot. Plot info from Coming Soon... "The $10 million period biopic will recount the story of the pilot who flew the reconnaissance B-29 that gave the OK to drop the bomb on Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945. Shepard will play the pilot's father, who eventually had to commit his son to a veteran's psychiatric hospital". Sounds like powerful stuff and a story worth telling. I enjoyed Sam Shepard's brief role as Ryan Gosling's father in The Notebook, I thought he did a terrific job of playing a nice guy Dad. source - the hollywood reporter, coming soon
