Jessica Biel and Kaya Scodelario star in the film from Italian director/writer Francesca Gregorini (Tanner Hall). It's currently in preproduction.

The film is about a troubled girl (played by Moon actress Kaya Scodelario) who babysits a lifelike doll owned by her neighbor (played by Biel). The girl becomes obsessed with the neighbor, who looks just like the girl's dead mother.

Molina will play the girl's father, and O'Connor will play her stepmother. Barnard will play the girl's romantic interest, while Simpson will play one of the girl's co-workers at a medical supply store.
