Sam Rockwell and Woody Harrelson have signed on to star in The Cackling of the Dodos, a crime thriller that Jason Bateman will direct for Netflix.
The project was announced by Netflix’s head of film, Dan Lin, at the streaming giant’s presentation previewing its movie and television slate for the year.
Based on an original screenplay by novelist Rye Curtis (Kingdomtide), the story centers on small-town farmer George, who has a truly terrible day when he discovers a corpse chilling out in a grain bin, and is unwittingly forced into a chaotic, sloppy cover-up by his boss Denny.
