In a statement announcing the project, director Scott said in a statement: "An excellent script by Brad Inglesby has drawn a truly excellent cast. For me, a dream come true.
It is the latest dramatic role for Miller, following her appearance as crime boss’ mistress in Ben Affleck’s ‘Live by Night’ and parts in ‘Burnt’, ‘American Sniper’ and ‘Foxcatcher’.
The 35-year-old star can next be seen in James Gray’s ‘The Lost City of Z’ which will hit cinemas in April.
