FilmInk has announced that Hugo will join an already impressive cast in Jesper Jones: “based on the multi-award winning coming of age mystery novel by Craig Silvey, it is about one eventful summer in 1965 when Charlie Bucktin, lured by adventure and mystery, experiences the trials of teenage love and discovers what it means to be truly courageous”.
Hugo will play Mad Jack Lionel, the town recluse with a mysterious past. Principal photography is set to commence on October 26th in the south west of Western Australia.
