Donald Sutherland and son Rossif Sutherland have been cast in
the upcoming romantic comedy, which is currently in production in
Toronto.
It's a dream pairing – Sutherland senior and junior on the same
film set. In this case the young hunk in question is not 24
hero Kiefer, it's his half brother, 30-year-old Rossif.
The movie - Love Child, which also stars Rebecca Romijn (”Ugly
Betty”) and Sarah Roemer, revolves around an ex-con on parole whose
attempts to stay out of trouble go away when a loan shark comes
calling to collect on a debt.
