Seyfried teams up with David Koepp for a thriller

Mamma Mia! (2008) and Les Misérables (2012) star Amanda Seyfried has joined the cast of the upcoming thriller You Should Have Left. The film, written and to be directed by David Koepp, also features actor Kevin Bacon and will be produced by Blumhouse Productions.

Koepp, an industry veteran, is best known for writing films such as Mission:

Impossible (1996), Jurassic Park (1993), Spider-Man (2002), War of the Worlds (2005), and others.

The film, which is expected to go on the floors later this year, follows the “unsettling story of a wealthy man with a younger wife and a six-yearold child.

Mistrust and suspicion characterise their marriage while they are in a remote location that may or may not be obeying all the physical laws of the universe.”

Bacon will portray the wealthy man, while Seyfried will play his wife, an actor with a secret, reported Variety. ctor Vishwas Kini has finally got his big break by playing a rich, clingy guy, opposite Sonam Kapoor Ahuja in Veere Di Wedding. Hailing from Jalandhar, the thought of becoming an actor was “too scary” for him. He reveals how he landed his first big-budget project. “I was supposed to do another film with Rhea Kapoor (producer of VDW) that was still mate rialising when she started with Veere... Since she knew me, she took my test for Bhandari’s role and I was surprised that I was considered for it, since I’m not at all like Bhandari in real life,” says Vishwas, revealing that it was the look-test, which nailed it for him. “In the look-test with Sonam, I made her laugh a lot, and baat ban gayi. The main emphasis was on not just playing a Delhi guy, but a ‘West Delhi rich spoilt brat’ because Delhi people bahut tez hote hain. They will instantly know it, ki South ya West, kiska role play kar raha hai.” The road to the new found attention wasn’t smooth for Vishwas. He says, “I hail from a middle-class family of engineers, so they wanted me to become one, too. I studied science and also had a band in college. Later, I decided to do an MBA, but nothing materialised. I was confused, but then I started watching a lot of films. And I come from Jalandhar, and there, if you want to become an actor, you can’t even say it out loud because it’s too difficult.”
