Benicio Del Toro to Star in Oliver Stone's WHITE LIES

Benicio Del Toro is set to star in Oliver Stone's drama White Lies, according to Variety. The film will be directed by Stone, who also wrote the script. The film will offer an intimate exploration of family, loss, and love.

Production of the film will begin in New York City in the spring. Nighthawk Capital Limited is financing and Fernando Sulichin with Ross Katz will produce. Sulichin's New Element Media raised the financing for the film.

White Lies will tell a story that covers three generations. Del Toro will portray a child of DIVORCE now repeating his parents' mistakes in his own marriage and with his troubled son. Feeling trapped, he embarks on a lust-filled journey to free himself, but only becomes more lost. When he meets a woman whose life is the opposite of his own, he begins a journey of rediscovery.

This will be the first time that Del Toro and Stone have worked together, since 2012's Savages.

Del Toro won the Academy Award for best supporting actor for 2000's Traffic. He can most recently be seen in Avengers: Infinity War and Sicario: Day of the Soldado.

Stone is a three-time Academy Award winner. He won for adapted screenplay for Midnight Express in 1978, and twice for best director for Platoon in 1986 and Born on the Fourth of July in 1989. Stone's most recent film was Snowden, a biopic that starred Joseph Gordon-Levitt as WHISTLEBLOWER Edward Snowden.
