Evan Rachel Wood, Gina Rodriguez to Star in Miranda July Heist Feature

Evan Rachel Wood, Gina Rodriguez, Richard Jenkins and Debra Winger are set to star in the yet-to-be titled heist feature from indie filmmaker Miranda July.

The project is the latest collaboration from Annapurna and Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment. Youree Henley (The Beguiled, 20th Century Women) will produce the feature, which is slated to begin production in May.
The script centers on a woman named Old Dolio, whose life is turned upside down when her parents — amateur con artists — invite an outsider to join their biggest heist yet. Wood will play Old Dolio, while Jenkins and Winger will portray the shady parents who are confronted by the mistakes of their poor parenting. Rodriguez will play the woman who learns of the family’s secrets and is brought into the fold.

July, who is repped by UTA, is a prominent artist, author and essayist who is best known in Hollywood as the writer-director-star of 2005’s You and Me and Everyone We Know, which won the Camera d’Or at Cannes and a Special Jury Prize at Sundance.
