Henstridge moves into "Anytown"

By Gregg Goldstein

NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - Natasha Henstridge has joined the cast of Dave Rodriguez's "Anytown," an indie drama that examines a racist high school attack and its aftermath.

Henstridge (ABC's "Eli Stone") will play a news anchor covering an attack on an Indian-American boy by two fellow students who videotape the crime. The event forces her to examine the media's post-September 11 role in fueling hate crimes committed by youth.

Matt O'Leary ("Brick"), Marshall Allman ("Prison Break"), Jonathan Halyalkar and Paul Ben-Victor also star in the film, which Rodriguez ("Push") is directing from a script he co-wrote with Zak Meyers.
