Jeffrey Dean Morgan, whose star has certainly risen in the past couple of years, is set to join young actress Chloe Moretz (whose been attached since 2010) in director Karyn Kusama’s (Jennifer’s Body) indie drama The Rut, according to Variety.
Described as a cross between Winter’s Bone and Sean Penn’s Into the Wild, the story follows a young girl who sets out into the wild by herself to hunt deer, hoping to win the approval of her father. It’s a very American story as you can’t imagine many British parents being impressed if their kids wandered off by themselves to kill an animal (indeed for most it’d be time to call the shrinks in).
It’ll be a while until we see The Rut though, as it isn’t set to start shooting until this October.
