Harrelson and Morton sign for "Messenger"

LONDON (Hollywood Reporter) - Woody Harrelson and Samantha Morton have joined the cast of the road movie "The Messenger."

Billed as a poignant, life-affirming drama, the film marks the directorial debut of Oren Moverman, who co-wrote the unorthodox Bob Dylan biopic "I'm Not There" with Todd Haynes. Moverman's co-writer on "The Messenger" is first-time scriptwriter Alessandro Camon.

Already cast in the film are Ben Foster, Jena Malone and Eamonn Walker.
