Whoopi Goldberg, Jeffrey Wright & Alec Baldwin have joined the cast of Atrabilious, the second film from 18-year-old filmmaker William Atticus Parker.

“One of his films recently starred me and his mom, so he gets all the best talent right there.” While grateful for the assistance from his parents in completing the project, Crudup admitted his son had occasional harsh words for the standard of his own work. In the meantime check out our recent interview with Jeffrey Wright on The Batman. “He’s a creative engine and likes to write and direct his own material at school,” he told Parker, the son of actors Mary Louise Parker and Billy Crudup, shot the film with A-list acting talent in New York City on a minuscule budget, not dissimilar to his debut feature, Forty Winks. “Atrabilious is the darkly comedic and magical characterization of grief,” Parker said.
