'The Little Drummer Girl' star Michael Shannon set to act in Seth Savoy's directorial debut 'Echo Boomers' alongside Nick Robinson and Britt Robertson

'Echo Boomers' is based on a true story about a group of disillusioned 20-somethings, who use the city as their playground to break into the homes of the richest citizens

Michael Shannon is set to star alongside Nick Robinson and Britt Robertson in Seth Savoy's upcoming directorial debut, 'Echo Boomers'. Inclining to the storyline of the 2013 Emma Watson-starring movie, 'The Bling Ring' — which followed a group of teenagers who robbed famous personalities to be rich — 'Echo Boomers' is based on a true story about a group of disillusioned 20-somethings, who use the city as their playground by breaking into the homes of the richest citizens, stealing from the rich and giving to themselves.

While the additional cast is yet to be set, Shannon, Robinson, and Robertson will be joined by Alex Pettyfer who is recently making his own directorial debut with the indie noir thriller, 'Back Roads'. Savoy's directorial debut will be produced by Byron Wetzel, Sean Kaplan, Mike Ware, Jeff Waxman, and James Langer, and the film's foreign rights are held by Fortitude Intl.
