EXCLUSIVE: Paramount has given a green light to Nebraska and has set a mid-October production start on the black & white film Nebraska, Alexander Payne’s followup to The Descendants. And while the road trip pairing of Bruce Dern and Will Forte seemed unusual when Deadline first reported that’s what Payne wanted two months ago, deals are now being closed with both actors to star in the film. The $13 million budget film was scripted by Bob Nelson and Dern will play a crotchety alcoholic dad who receives a pro forma sweepstakes letter in the mail, thinks he’s struck it rich and wrangles his underachieving son (Forte) into taking a road trip to claim the fortune.
