EXCLUSIVE: Mo McRae (The Flight Attendant), Brian Geraghty (Gaslit), Chapel Oaks (The First Lady), Kenneth Miller (12 Strong) and Nicholas Logan (I Care a Lot) are the final additions to the cast of Ian and Eshom Nelms’ action-thriller Red Right Hand, which is in production in Kentucky. The actors join an ensemble that also includes Orlando Bloom, Andie MacDowell, Scott Haze and Garret Dillahunt, as previously announced.

Red Right Hand finds Cash (Bloom) trying to live an honest and quiet life with his widowed brother-in-law Finney (Haze) and niece, Savannah (Oaks), in the Appalachian hills of Odim County. When the sadistic Queenpin Big Cat (MacDowell), who runs the town, forces him back into her services to pay off Finney’s debts, Cash will use any means necessary—even killing—to protect his town and the only family he has left. As the journey gets harder, Cash is drawn into a nightmare that blurs the lines between good and evil. McRae will play Deputy Duke Parks, with Geraghty as Sheriff Hollister. Miller and Logan will portray Big Cat’s henchman, The Buck and The Doe.
