“Hustlers” actress Keke Palmer is set to star in a thriller called “Alice,” with Common and Jonny Lee Miller co-starring.
“Alice” is the story of a woman trapped in slavery in an 1800s Georgia plantation, only for her to discover upon her escape that it’s actually 1973.
The film comes from writer Krystin Ver Linden, who will also make her directorial debut on the project. Steel Springs Pictures announced the new casting addition Wednesday and is fully financing the project that’s aiming for principal photography to begin this August in Georgia.
Peter Lawson (“Spotlight,” “John Wick”) is producing “Alice,” and the executive producers are Jose Agustin Valdes and Luisa Fernanda Espinosa of Steel Springs Pictures.
