New Girl star, Zooey Deschanel has been cast alongside Anton Yelchin in the dark comedy ‘The Driftless Area‘.
Based on the Tom Drury novel of the same name, the Star Trek actor and quirky actress will act alongside John Hawkes (Me and You and Everyone We Know) in the film co-written and directed by Zachary Sluser.
The films follows a bartender (Yelchin) returning home after his parents have both died and soon falls for a woman (Deschanel) but is unwittingly pitted against a volatile crook (Hawkes).
It all sounds very interesting and will give Yelchin (who isn’t a stranger to comedy) a nice break from his recent serious roles, and mix things up for Deschanel who will be fitting the project in between her New Girl obligations.
Shooting is set to start in May in Vancover.
