Michael Stahl-David and Zoe Kazan are set to lead in Joss Whedon’s science-fiction romantic indie film, In Your Eyes.

Directed by Brin Hill with a script by Joss Whedon, the film is a metaphysical love story in which Stahl-David plays the character of Dylan who lives in a trailer in New Mexico after serving time in jail and Kazan plays the character of Rebecca, an attractive but slightly awkward woman who is married to an older doctor and living in Connecticut. The two have never met, but through a powerful connection that neither of them could have imagined, the two seemingly opposite characters can hear and see each other.

Stahl-David made his feature film debut as the lead in JJ Abrams’ Cloverfield and last starred in ABC’s My Generation, whilst Kazan, who scripted Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris’ He Loves Me is well-known for her role in Sam Mendes’ Revolutionary Road.

The film is to start production in Los Angeles and New Hampshire soon, with Whedon’s Bellwether partner Kai Cole is also set to produce the film alongside Night & Day Pictures’ Michael Roiff and David Rothernberg.
