Benedict Cumberbatch has been roped in to feature in the upcoming film "Gypsy Boy", based on Mikey Walsh's best-selling memoir by the same name.

Morgan Matthews will be directing the film, with producers Dee Koppang O'Leary and Kevin Loader working on the production, which is currently slated for a summer 2018 release.

Cumberbatch will play Walsh's father Frank in the movie. "I was immediately drawn to Mikey's courageous and heart-breaking story. And his father Frank is unlike any character I've played before.

He's a complex man torn between tradition and his love for a son struggling to come to terms with an identity that's completely at odds with Frank and his culture. It's a tension that threatens to tear everyone in their family and that community apart," said Cumberbatch.
