Yesterday news cames down the line from Deadline that Jon Bernthal (Daredevil) and Imogen Poots (Green Room) have come on board the new triller Sweet Virginia from Jamie Dagg. Bernthal and Poots will be joined by Christopher Abbott (TV's Girls), Rosemarie DeWitt (La La Land) and Odessa Young (Looking for Grace).
Dagg of course has been on our radar for a while now and made his feature film debut last year with the Laos set thriller River with Rossif Sutherland.
Sweet Verginia follows a motel owner with a dark past (Bernthal) who unknowingly starts a rapport with a young hitman (Abbott) responsible for a spate of violence that suddenly has gripped a small town.
Sales for Sweet Virginia will begin at Tiff in a couple weeks. XYZ Films is handling international sales.
