Filming will commence on director Zachary Sluser’s The Driftless Area next week in Vancouver, and per Screen Daily, Frank Langella has joined Anton Yelchin and Zooey Deschanel in the movie, about a young romance threatened by a crook and his bag of loot. (Presumably Langella plays the former, and not the actual bag of loot.) John Hawkes, Alia Shawkat and Ciaran Hinds round out the key cast of the indie production, packaged by Unified Pictures and Bron Studios.
