Pay Sam Money! –
February 6, 2019 – Quinones’ book explored how opiate addiction took over countless towns throughout America starting in the 1990s. The name for the book came from the nickname given to a popular swimming pool in Portsmouth, Ohio, one of the key locations in Quinones’ journey. The film “Dreamland,” which will star Gary Oldman, Evangeline Lilly and Armie Hammer, follows a drug trafficker, a professor, and a recovering addicted mother who are each tangled in the machine that keeps the addiction going in their own ways. Quinones told TheWrap that he has no involvement in the film and that the producers did not contact him about the title.
