Vertical Entertainment will release writer/director Eytan Rockaway’s gangster biopic Lansky partially based on actual conversations that took place between Eytan’s father, history professor Robert Rockaway and gangster Meyer Lansky before his death.

The film stars Academy Award Nominated Harvey Keitel (Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction), Sam Worthington (Avatar, Terminator Salvation),), AnnaSophia Robb (Bridge to Terabithia, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), Minka Kelly (The Roommate, 500 Days of Summer), David Cade (Into The Ashes), David James Elliott (Trumbo, Affairs of State) and John Magaro (The First Cow, The Big Short). Vertical Entertainment is planning a theatrical day and date release on June 25, 2021.

David Stone (Sam Worthington), a renowned but down-on-his-luck writer, has the opportunity of a lifetime when he receives a surprise call from Meyer Lansky (Academy Award nominee Harvey Keitel). For decades, authorities have been trying to locate Lansky’s alleged nine-figure fortune and this is their last chance to capture the aging gangster before he dies. With the FBI close behind, the Godfather of organized crime reveals the untold truth about his life as the notorious boss of Murder Inc. and the National Crime Syndicate.
