The need to delay production on Game Of Thrones' seventh season means the cast is free to accept other jobs. And those with burgeoning film careers such as Sophie Turner can take on more roles, such as joining the cast of indie drama Huntsville.

Despite the title sounding like it'll be set in Alabama, it'll actually take place in a dull Florida town (but shot in, er, Los Angeles) where we find Hank, played by Dylan McDermott. He's seemingly stuck in a dull rut, until he starts a somewhat questionable relationship with Josie (Turner), a young woman who has just transferred from out of the state to attend the local high school.

Eric England is behind the camera for this one, working from a script by Anthony Ragnone. It's been through at least one other version already, with Shea Whigham and The Witch's Anya Taylor-Joy attached before that fell apart because of funding issues. Now England has Jack Kilmer (son of Val) on to co-star and is looking to kick off shooting in LA this month.

Turner, who was last seen on the big screen in X-Men: Apocalypse, has worked on a drama called Alone and is also attached to portmanteau movie Berlin, I Love You.
