Deep In Waska

Thomas Dekker, Lynn Collins, Jeremy Piven and Kate Walsh have joined the cast of the indie drama "Waska" says Variety.





Based on a novel Angels Crest: A Novel by Leslie Schwartz, the story follows a young father (Dekker) whose 3-year-old son freezes to death during a fishing trip.

As a local prosecutor (Piven) goes after him, townspeople like his ex-wife (Collins) rage at him and others support him as he attempts to makes sense of what happened.

Mira Sorvino, Elizabeth McGovern, and Joseph Morgan also star.

On a Clear Day director Gaby Dellal calls action from Catherine Trieschmann's adapted script.

Never read the book but I'm intrigued by the gut wrench er premise. Dekker will have to stretch his acting skills here. It's nice to see Piven step away from the comedic stuff for a bit.

Filming is already underway in Calgary, Alberta.
