Production is now underway on the upcoming Paramount Plus feature film “Jerry and Marge Go Large” which will star Bryan Cranston and Annette Benning. According to Deadline, the film is inspired by the true story of how retiree Jerry Selbee and his wife help revitalize their small Michigan town by playing — and winning — the Massachusetts lottery. The film will be directed by David Frankel with principal production taking place in Georgia.
