Hunter Biden-Inspired Addiction Pic 'The Prince' In Works From Cameron Van Hoy & David Mamet; Scott Haze, Nicolas Cage, J.K. Simmons, Giancarlo Esposito & Andy Garcia To Star
As we previously reported , director Cameron Van Hoy’s movie is rumored to have been partly inspired by the journey of Hunter Biden.
George Newbern ( Father of the Bride films), Beverly D’Angelo (National Lampoon’s Vacation series), Paul Cassell ( Just Like Heaven ), and Courtnee Carter ( Anything’s Possible ) have also newly joined the cast.
Though most plot details are being kept under wraps, The Prince is said to chronicle the “outrageous story of Parker Scott (played by Haze), a drug-fueled power broker hungry for non-stop thrills, ruling over a privileged world where pleasure is king, and more is never enough”.
Pic is produced by Sean Wolfington ( Sound of Freedom ), Haze, Van Hoy ( Flinch ), Jo Henriquez ( Missing ), and Lije Sarki ( The Peanut Butter Falcon ). John Devaney, CJ Kirvan, and Jose Luiz Zapata serve as executive producers.

Mamet alluded to his work on the project a few months ago, in an interview with podcaster Andrew Klavan. “These guys who did Sound of Freedom , they came to me and they said, ‘You want to write a movie for us?’ I said, ‘Yeah sure, what do you got?’” he shared. “They said they wanted to do a movie about Hunter Biden.”
A source close to the filmmakers last month denied that the project draws inspiration from Biden, stating, “This project has been in the works for a while and, as it currently stands and is led by van Hoy, is a fictional account of fictional events and characters.”
