'Stranger Things' Charlie Heaton to star in upcoming film 'Billy Knight' with Diana Silvers, Al Pacino

The production on the upcoming film Billy Knights is expected to begin in early October, as reported by Variety Magazine. 

The upcoming movie Billy Knight, starring Charlie Heaton, Diana Silvers and Al Pacino is the story of two graduate students Alex and Emily who pursue their dream of becoming film makers.

 Alex struggles with his father's passing, a failing screenwriter, and his desire to succeed in the film industry.

The writer and director Alec Griffen Roth stated, Billy Knight is a love letter to cinema, a fantasy steeped in the history of this great art-form. It’s also the tale of two struggling artists, an introspective struggle of a young man trying to find his voice, and

discovering what’s important in life,” he added. “Having the incomparable Al Pacino and the incredible talents Charlie Heaton and Diana Silvers in the film is a dream come true.”
