Flag Day

Flag Day (2021)

John Vogel führt ein Doppelleben: Einerseits backt der liebende Familienvater gerne Torten und geht mit seiner zehnjährigen Tochter an Heiligabend in ein leeres Kino, um ROCKY zu schauen. Andererseits raubt er Banken aus, betrügt Investoren, flieht vor der Polizei und ist ein talentierter Geldfälscher. Als der charmante Dauerkriminelle nach langen Jahren geschnappt wird, werden bei ihm Blüten im Wert von 20 Mio. US-Dollar sichergestellt – die bis dahin vierthöchste Menge an Falschgeld, die das FBI je beschlagnahmt hat.

Production

In March 2012, Penn expressed interest in joining the cast of a Flim-Flam Man film adaptation directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu.

It was announced in March 2019 that a casting call for the film had been issued, with filming for the project due to commence in Winnipeg, Canada.

Filming began in June with the cast including Penn and his children Dylan Penn and Hopper Penn. Josh Brolin, Miles Teller and Katheryn Winnick were also among the cast announced. In July 2019, James Russo was confirmed as part of the cast. On August 1, 2019, scenes were filmed at the Fort Garry campus of the University of Manitoba. Filming took place at Piedras Blancas in San Luis Obispo County, California.

The film was produced by William Horberg, Jon Kilik and Fernando Sulichin.

In an interview with Deadline Hollywood at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival, Penn said that he initially thought that it would be something he might act in, but after trouble identifying the right director he took on the offer as it was a movie that he would have liked to see get made. It is the first film directed by Penn in which he also appears.
