Ashley Benson Lands Role in Good Side of a Bad Man

Ashley Benson has landed a new role. The actress is set to join Emile Hirsch, Thomas Jane, Harvey Keitel, and Shawn Hatosy in Good Side of a Bad Man.

Good Side of a Bad Man will chart the true story of Pretty Boy Floyd (Hirsch), a poor midwestern farm boy who grew up to become one of the most notorious criminals of the Depression era. Labeled as a deadly crook and danger to society, the film will see the FBI assign storied agent Melvin Purvis (Jane) to lead the manhunt to take down Floyd, who in the eyes of his wife Ruby (Benson) and the farmers plagued by extreme poverty, is their very own Robin Hood, stealing from the rich and sharing with the long-suffering community he was raised in.

Vertical Entertainment just purchased North American rights to the film. Production began today, November 1 in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
