Variety reports that a movie about the Hershey chocolate company is in the works, and is set to star Alexandra Daddario and Finn Wittrock. The Hershey chocolate movie will be directed by Mark Waters, and will begin filming in May. The movie, titled Hershey for now, will see Wittrock play Milton Hershey, who builds the legendary candy empire alongside his wife, Kitty (Daddario).
“Against all odds, Milton achieved great success, but unlike a lot of other wealthy men of his time, he shared his success with the working people and community around him,” said Mark Waters. “The core of ‘Hershey,’ the movie, will be the special love story between Milton and Catherine Hershey, who inspired his greatest legacy — the creation of Milton Hershey School. I’m excited to have Finn Wittrock and Alexandra Daddario to portray these two visionaries, who believed in leaving the world a better place than they found it — the kind of wonderful, true story that audiences are hungry for right now.”
