Stiller scouting prison break series in Plattsburgh
Actor and filmmaker Ben Stiller braved the rain in downtown Plattsburgh with a film crew Tuesday. Showtime recently confirmed that Stiller will direct and executive-produce the eight-hour series, “Escape at Dannemora,” which has been green-lighted to begin production later this year. It will reportedly star Oscar winners Benicio del Toro (“Traffic,” 2001) as Richard Matt and Patricia Arquette (“Boyhood,” 2015) as Joyce Mitchell, as well as Paul Dano (“Little Miss Sunshine”) as David Sweat. Today, Stiller visited the Government Center, City Hall and the Macdonough Monument in downtown Plattsburgh.
