Actress Joey King of the television series “Fargo” rounded out the cast. The Queens Courier fi rst broke the story about the fi lm shoot on Thursday amid much speculation as to whether or not the actors would appear at the location. Caine and Freeman have previously starred together in Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight” trilogy, with Cain playing Bruce Wayne’s butler Alfred Pennyworth opposite Freeman’s Lucius Fox. According to sources on the set, Freeman was accompanied by his stepdaughter, Deena Adair Williams, who was working with the fi lm’s hair and makeup department. Film crews surrounded the diner with multiple spotlights and refl ection panels, including an 80-foot-tall lighting rig. Stand-ins for the actors were also on hand prior to the stars’ arrival on the set. The original version of “Going in Style” debuted in 1979 and starred comedic legends George Burns, Art Carney and Lee Strasburg as cash-strapped retirees turned bumbling bank robbers in Groucho Marx disguises. Actor and screenwriter Zach Braff of “Scrubs” fame is directing the latest version of the fi lm. Braff made his directorial debut in 2004 with the critically acclaimed fi lm “Garden State” in which he starred opposite Natalie Portman and Peter Sarsgaard. According to Variety, stars Matt Dillon and Ann-Margaret are also set to join the cast of the “Going in Style” remake. “Going in Style” is set to premiere in theaters on May 6, 2016. Style...
