Billy Crudup, who recently starred in The Stanford Prison Project, is set to play the male lead in 20th Century Women, an Annapurna film written and directed by Mike Mills and co-starring 21st century women Annette Bening, Elle Fanning, and Greta Gerwig. Set in 1979, the film follows Dorothea (Bening), a single mother living in Santa Barbara who is struggling to raise her troubled 20th century teenage son Jaime. She turns to two fellow 20th century women in her life for help: Abbie (Gerwig), a young photographer who moves in with Dorothea, and Abbie (Fanning), Jamie’s peer who’s only 16 years old but has a very grown-up outlook on life. Crudup will play the 20th century man who becomes one of Dorothea’s boarders, renting out the bungalow behind her main house. According to Deadline, “he’s the hunky handyman type.” But this hunky handyman—who is also a self-identifying former hippie—has a soft side underneath those hardened hunky handyman hands.
