Michelle Williams and Laura Dern are already on board, with the My Week With Marilyn actress playing a married advertising executive, whose husband is having an affair with a lawyer (played by Laura).

James Le Gros, Jared Harris and Sara Rodier also have roles in the ensemble project, which will consist of a series of vignettes revolving around the lives of people in a small town in Montana.

James, who previously appeared in Night Moves, will portray Michelle’s screen husband while Sara plays their daughter and Jared will play a construction worker who plots a hostage attempt after being injured in a work-related accident.

Filming will take place on location in Montana, with a release date yet to be revealed.
