Theater veterans Wes Bentley and Jennifer Carpenter will join Amanda Seyfried in the upcoming film Gone, according to a report in Variety. Heitor Dhalia will direct, with the screenplay by Allison Burnett.

The plot of the thriller centers “on a kidnap survivor who attempts to find the same killer whom she believes has abducted her sister.” The cast will also include Emily Wickersham.

Bentley appeared Off-Broadway in Venus in Fur, and is perhaps best known for his role as Ricky Fitts in the film American Beauty. Carpenter recently starred Off-Broadway in Gruesome Playground Injuries, and is perhaps best known for her portrayal of Debra Morgan on Showtime’s Dexter. Seyfried starred as Sophie Sheridan in the movie adaptation of the musical Mamma Mia! and will be seen on the big screen this week in Red Riding Hood.
