“Homeland” star Navid Negahban has joined indie war drama “Sand Castle,” TheWrap has learned.
The actor joins a cast led by Henry Cavill, Nicholas Hoult and Logan Marshall-Green in the film directed by Fernando Coimbra.
“Sand Castle” is based on a true story and centers on Matt Ocre (Hoult), who is part of a mission to repair a broken water system in the dangerous and unstable Iraqi village of Baqubah. While the people of Baghdad welcome the Americans as saviors, the villagers resist their presence and Matt and his unit must try to convince the community that they are part of the solution, not the problem, in order to save the town and get out alive.
