Kathleen Robertson, Anthony Lemke and Tedde Moore have joined the cast for Down the Road Again, the sequel to Don Shebib’s classic 1970s film Goin’ Down the Road from indie producer Union Pictures.

Shooting on the Canadian feature from writer/director Shebib starts September 27, and includes the original cast of Doug McGrath, Jayne Eastwood and Cayle Chernin.

In 2002, Playback rated Goin’ Down the Road the fifth-best Canadian film ever, according to a reader poll.

With the sequel set 40 years after the original film, Down the Road Again begins as Pete McGraw, played by McGrath, is retiring from his days as a Vancouver postman and then going east to answer a plea from a late pal.

Down the Road Again is produced by Robin Cass and executive produced by Sandra Cunningham and Anna Stratton.

Telefilm and the OMDC are on board as financing partners.

Shooting on the sequel is set to run to October 18 in and around Toronto.
