Last week it was learned that hometown girl Patricia Clarkson would be starring with Brit Marling ("Another Earth"), Alexander Skarsgard ("Straw Dogs") and Ellen Page ("Juno") in Zal Batmanglij's upcoming indie thriller, "The East." Today, we learn that it will bring her back to her home state.
According to the latest state-issued listing of production activity, "The East" will set up camp in Shreveport on Nov. 2 for a five-week shoot set to run through Dec. 12.
Backed by Tony and Ridley Scott's Scott Free Productions -- which has brought such films as "Déjà vu" and "Welcome to the Rileys" to the state over the past few years -- "The East" tells the story of a woman (Marling) who works for a firm hired by big-business types to protect them from radical environmental groups. When she's ordered by her boss - that would be Clarkson -- to infiltrate one such group, she falls under the spell of group leader Skarsgard.
Marling earns a co-writer credit on the film, which is tentatively set for a 2012 release.
