Sebastian Stan and Leo Woodall to Play Gay Cannabis Activists in Justin Kurzel’s ‘Burning Rainbow Farm’ About Infamous 2001 Police Siege

  • Sebastian Stan and Leo Woodall will star in the true-life thriller Burning Rainbow Farm directed by Justin Kurzel, set to launch at Cannes 2025.
  • The film is based on the 2001 deadly police siege of Rainbow Farm in Michigan, where gay cannabis activists Tom Crosslin and Rollie Rohm faced local authorities after losing custody of their son.
  • Burning Rainbow Farm portrays Crosslin and Rohm's creation of a peaceful pot-friendly utopia and culminates in one of America's largest standoffs involving police and the FBI.
  • Director Kurzel described the film as a love story of two outliers raising their middle finger to hate, saying, "This is who we are, and we dare you to take it from us."
  • The film, scripted by Tommy Murphy and based on Dean Kuipers' 2006 book, is expected to spotlight the courageous, memorable union of Stan and Woodall's characters and will release with CAA Media Finance handling North American rights.
