Los Angeles: Oscar winners Joaquin Phoenix and Emma Stone are set to star in filmmaker Ari Aster's new feature film, titled Eddington.
The movie, which will be written and directed by Aster, will also feature Austin Butler, Pedro Pascal, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O’Connell, Micheal Ward and Clifton Collins Jr, reported entertainment news outlet Variety.
Though the official plot details have been kept under wraps, the movie will reportedly follow a small-town New Mexico sheriff with higher aspirations.
