The Apple Original film follows the story of two half-brothers who have lived in the shadow of a difficult father. Oscar-winner Alfonso Cuarón (Gravity, Roma) will produce the film with Bonnie Curtis, and University of Virginia graduate Julie Lynn.

“Major projects like ‘Raymond and Ray’ shine a powerful spotlight on and increase awareness of all that Virginia offers,” said Northam in a news release. “We look forward to working with the film’s exceptional team and to the economic benefits a film of this scale will bring to Virginia workers and businesses.”

Recent major film projects that have been shot in Virginia include AMC’s ‘The Walking Dead: World Beyond’ and the Hulu limited series ‘Dopesick,’ which utilized the Alleghany Highlands.
