2 min readEditor-approved Apex article

Will Harrison is set to join Grace Van Patten in “Rubber Hut,” Hanna Gray Organschi’s feature film debut, Deadline reported on June 22. The casting marks Harrison’s next screen role following his first Tony Award nomination, which came for his lead performance in the Manhattan Theatre Club production “Punch.”

Deadline said “Rubber Hut” is being developed as a film project that will be centered on a 1992 setting in Rhode Island. The announcement positions the movie as a new narrative follow-up from Organschi, who is making her transition from prior work into features with the project.

According to the report, Harrison’s deal comes after he was recognized this awards season for “Punch,” a production staged at Manhattan Theatre Club. The theater production, in which Harrison led, was cited by Deadline as the platform for his first Tony nomination.

Grace Van Patten has been tapped to star in “Rubber Hut,” and the report frames the pairing of Van Patten with Harrison as a core part of the film’s cast. Deadline did not provide additional casting beyond the two actors in its announcement.

The report also indicates that the film is part of an ongoing pipeline of projects connected to new voices in filmmaking, with Organschi’s feature debut described as a fresh production effort. Deadline previously covered the project in March, and the June 22 update is presented as a new casting milestone.

While details about production dates and character names were not included in the announcement, the project’s Rhode Island setting in 1992 suggests the film will be built around period-specific storytelling and production design. With Harrison’s theater momentum following a Tony nomination and Van Patten’s attached role, the project is likely to draw attention from audiences tracking award-season stage performers moving into film.

Deadline characterized the casting as exclusive, indicating that the information was newly confirmed at the time of publication. With Harrison and Van Patten attached, the next steps for “Rubber Hut” would typically include finalizing supporting cast, completing the script and production timeline, and announcing distribution and release details once those arrangements are secured.

Why It Matters

  • The casting announcement connects award-season theater visibility with an upcoming film project, a common pathway for stage talent transitioning to screen.
  • A 1992 Rhode Island setting implies a production that will require period-accurate production design, wardrobe, and location decisions, affecting budgets and logistics.
  • As Organschi’s feature debut, “Rubber Hut” represents a key career milestone that can shape her future opportunities in film development.
  • The involvement of Manhattan Theatre Club talent underscores the continuing flow between major New York theater ecosystems and mainstream entertainment production.
