Swift is no stranger to big names. He’s already been in films with Pierce Brosnan in I.T., and Elle Fanning, and Ben Affleck in Live by Night. Whaling is a dark comedy about a dysfunctional brother/sister duo who are forced together when their mother dies. They journey on a road trip to scatter the mom’s ashes in a particular way. Swift’s casting was announced on Friday, and he will play a “small town hustler.”

The film just began shooting in Oklahoma and has no release date as of yet.
