Ralph Fiennes took the leading role in writer-director Jacob Aaron Estes' The Gifted, reports Production Weekly.
The pic is based on Ian Parker's New Yorker article The Gift, about the life of controversial philanthropist Zell Kravinsky.
Kravinsky made millions in real estate and over the past six years has given it all, nearly $45 million dollars of assets, away. He kept for himself only a modest house. But this was not enough. In 2003, he donated his kidney to a stranger who needed it. Estes is eyeing a spring production start in New York.
Filming is slated to begin in September with locations in Toronto, Winnipeg and the Arctic.
