Jerry Lewis Joins Cast of ‘The Trust’ Crime Thriller

Famed comedian Jerry Lewis (The King of Comedy) has signed on to The Trust alongside Nicholas Cage (Con Air), Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings), and singer Sky Ferreira – reports Deadline. The story follows two corrupt cops (Cage, Wood) planning a heist after discovering a money-filled vault at the back of a convenience store. Lewis has apparently taken the role of Cage’s father. Alex and Ben Brewer will be co-directing the film based on a script by Ben Brewer and Adam Hirsch. Lewis has, up until now, distanced himself from the Hollywood scene, with his last major film being the indie Max Rose – a feature at Cannes 2013. Before then, the actor’s most recent credit dates back to 2009. This rare appearance, therefore, could be a large selling point for the film.
