Betty Gilpin joins Ron Howard's military drama 'Alone At Dawn'

Betty Gilpin joins Adam Driver and Anne Hathaway in Ron Howard's military drama 'Alone At Dawn,' based on the true story of Medal of Honor recipient John Chapman.

"Years later, an intelligence officer works to prove his valour, leading an investigation that would ultimately secure Chapman the Medal of Honour - Deadline"

Washington DC, November 18

Actress Betty Gilpin is joining Adam Driver and Anne Hathaway in 'Alone at Dawn', reported Deadline.

Director Ron Howard's Amazon MGM military drama is based on the 2019 book by Dan Schilling and Lori Longfritz.

However, there are no details about Gilpin's role in the project. Published by Grand Central Publishing, Alone at Dawn is all about the U.S. Air Force Combat Controller John Chapman and his fight to the death to save his fellow soldiers during the 2002 Battle of Takur Ghar in Afghanistan. Years later, an intelligence officer works to prove his valour, leading an investigation that would ultimately secure Chapman the Medal of Honour, as reported by Deadline.

The film's producers include Imagine Entertainment, The Hideaway Entertainment, and Thruline Entertainment, as well as Kristy Grisham, William Connor, and Patrick Newall.

Gilpin currently stars opposite Michael Shannon and Matthew Macfadyen in Netflix's limited series 'Death by Lightning'. She was also seen in the independent series Hal & Harper, opposite Cooper Raiff, Mark Ruffalo, and Lili Reinhart, which was acquired by Mubi following its premiere at Sundance.

Gilpin made her Broadway debut earlier this year as Mary Todd Lincoln, becoming the first actor to take over the titular role in Cole Escola's Oh Mary! at The Lyceum Theatre. She will next be seen co-starring with Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein in Ol Parker's Netflix rom-com Office Romance, according to Deadline.

Interesting cast with Adam Driver and Anne Hathaway. Betty Gilpin is a good addition - she was brilliant in GLOW. Hope the film focuses on the human story rather than just action sequences.

While I appreciate war stories, I wish we had more films about Indian military heroes. Our armed forces have so many untold stories of bravery that deserve recognition too. 🎬

Ron Howard is a fantastic director! His films always have depth and emotional resonance. This sounds like another meaningful project from him.

The Afghanistan context makes this relevant. Hope they handle the subject sensitively and don't just make it another Hollywood war movie. The book sounds interesting though!
