"CANNES -- Danny Huston, who played a rough-around-the-edges Richard the Lionhearted in Ridley Scott's Cannes opener "Robin Hood," will star in "Playoff," a sports drama from Israeli director Eran Riklis ("Lemon Tree") based on the real-life story of Israeli basketball coach Ralph Klein."

American Horror Story showrunner Ryan Murphy let slip some late-breaking casting news for the third season of the hit FX series.
He informed his followers on his social media channels that Danny Huston (30 Days of Night) will appear as a "sexy (and dangerous)" boyfriend to Jessica Lange's character. Huston recently enjoyed a term on the series Magic City on Starz until it was recently cancelled.
Deadline says:
Eric Bana and Danny Huston will star in Elvis & Nixon, an indie that marks the directing debut of actor Cary Elwes, who wrote the script with Joey Sagal and Hanala Sagal. The film’s funded by Benaroya Pictures. The film is based on a 1970 powwow between Presley (Bana) and Nixon (Huston) when the former petitioned to be a Federal Agent at Large in the war against drugs, which in hindsight seems a bit odd. Presley brought a Colt .45 pistol as a gift to the president. Bana will be exec producer. He’ll next star in the Lakeshore thriller Brilliant and just wrapped Blackbird.
