Actors sign on for "Bang Bang Club"

The upcoming indie drama "The Bang Bang Club," directed by Steven Silver now has its three headlining stars signed on, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Actors Ryan Phillippe, Malin Ackerman, and Taylor Kitsch are all officially set to star in the film. Phillippe starred in the Oscar-winning movie "Crash," Ackerman starred in the recently released "Watchmen," and Kitsch stars on NBC's "Friday Night Lights."

The film tells the true story of four young photographers in South Africa capturing the final days of apartheid. Greg Marinovich, to be played by Phillippe, and cameraman Joao Silva won Pulitzers for their photos.

The photographers, who later became known as the Bang Bang Club, lost two of their group when Ken Oosterbroek was killed in a battle zone, and Kevin Carter committed suicide, both in 1994.

Production is set to wrap in South Africa on May 1.
