Rick Cosnett, Richard Kind & Tammy Blanchard Join Alice Eve In Indie ‘The Long Run’

EXCLUSIVE: Rick Cosnett, Richard Kind and Tammy Blanchard are the latest confirmed cast for grief-themed indie The Long Run. They join previously announced Alice Eve in the film, directed by Harold Cronk (Unbroken: Path to Redemption).

The character-driven film revolves around a woman named Claire (Eve) who made a promise to her husband, Ben, that they would one day run the Marine Corps Marathon together. After Ben is killed in an overseas explosion, Claire is left numbed by grief and becomes a single mother. To honor his memory, she decides to run the 26.2-mile marathon alone, guided by the weight of her grief and love. Eve’s Claire rediscovers life thanks to the unruly rescue dog her husband left behind — an unlikely companion who pulls her, mile by mile, toward the marathon they once promised to run together and a deeper connection with her young son.
