Ava DuVernay's film adaptation of Pulitzer Prize winner Isabel Wilkerson's Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents has added Niecy Nash-Betts, Jon Bernthal, Vera Farmiga, Nick Offerman, Jasmine Cephas Jones and Connie Nielsen to the cast. They join Aunjanue Ellis, who has the lead role on the project.
DuVernay is writing and directing the movie, as well as producing alongside Paul Garnes. Caste has been filming for several weeks in Savannah, Ga., and will move on to shoot in Germany and India later this year.
