Mireille Enos and Scott Speedman Join QUEEN OF THE NIGHT

Deadline reports that Enos (World War Z) and Speedman (Last Resort) will star opposite Ryan Reynolds in the upcoming Queen of the Night. Atom Egoyan (Devils Knot) is directing the film based on a story he wrote and a script penned by David Fraser. Reynolds will play "a father who discovers a series of disturbing clues eight years after his daughter is abducted, a trail that leads him to believe the now 17-year-old girl is alive." 

Enos is set to play "his wife, who dutifully checks in with police each year on her daughter’s birthday, and realizes that disturbing memorabilia left at her workplace is not merely there to taunt her but could offer clues to her daughter’s whereabouts." Speedman will play a cop searching for his missing daughter. Filming is slated to begin next year in Ontario.

Enos has been on fire lately with roles in The Killing, World War Z and the upcoming Gangster Squad. It will be interesting to see her chemistry with Reynolds.
