Stage veterans Justin Long and Peter Dinklage will co-star alongside Evan Rachel Wood, Keir O’ Donnell, and Busy Phillips in the independent film A Case of You, according to Variety.


The film, to be directed by Kat Coiro, will have a script by O’Donnell, Long, and Christian Long. It revolves around a young writer who tries to impress a girl he meets online with an embellished profile, but finds himself in a real mess when she falls for him and he has to keep up the act.


Long appeared in the Williamstown Theatre Festival’s production of Mat Smart’s Samuel J. and K. and in MCC Theatre’s benefit performance of Neil LaBute’s Filthy Talk for Troubled Times. He is well known for his film work, which includes Ten Year, Going the Distance, and He’s Just Not That Into You.


Dinklage’s many stage credits include Uncle Vanya and Richard III. His films include The Station Agent and Death at a Funeral, and he won the 2012 Golden Globe Award for his work on the HBO series Game of Thrones.
