Sebastian Stan & The White Lotus Star to Lead Crime Movie Burning Rainbow Farm

Academy Award nominee Sebastian Stan (A Different Man, The Apprentice) and Leo Woodall (The White Lotus, One Day) have officially been tapped for the leading roles in the upcoming crime drama titled, Burning Rainbow Farm. The movie is based on a real-life police standoff between a gay cannabis activist couple and the Michigan police force.

What is the Burning Rainbow Farm about?

“The film is set to tell the story of Tom Crosslin and Rollie Rohm, two gay cannabis activists who met in the early 1990s and set up the peaceful, pot-friendly utopia Rainbow Farm in Michigan, a site that was once listed by High Times magazine as ‘fourteenth on the list of twenty-five Top Stoner Travel Spots in the world,'” reads the official synopsis. “But the pair ran afoul of local authorities and, when their young son was taken from them, a police standoff ensued that would lead to one of the largest and most dramatic sieges America has ever seen.”

Burning Rainbow Farm will be directed and produced by Justin Kurzel from a screenplay written by Tommy Murphy, based on Dean Kuipers’ 2006 book of the same name. It is produced Nicole O’Donohue and Alexandra Taussig for Thirdborn, Adam Shulman of Anonymous Content, Alix Madigan of Mad Dog Films, and Justin Lothrop and Brent Stiefel of Votiv.

“Burning Rainbow is a love story about two outliers who raise their middle finger to hate and declare ‘This is who we are, and we dare you to take it from us’,” Kurzel said in a statement (via Variety). “I’m excited to create this loveable and courageous couple with Sebastian and Leo, their union will be one to remember.”
