Jenna Ortega has been cast in a new dramatic movie being made by Lionsgate titled Miller's Girl.

Miller's Girl marks the directorial debut for writer-director Jade Halley Bartlett. Miller's Girl ranked on the 2016 Black List and Point Grey has been attached to the feature film ever since, though it has taken some time to get production rolling. Mary-Margaret Kunze will produce with Point Grey while Josh Fagen will oversee the project alongside Lionsgate's Chelsea Kujawa and Scott O'Brien.


Ortega will next star in the title role of the Tim Burton Netflix series Wednesday, centering on the Addams Family character. In January she starred in the $140M-global grossing Scream and is set to reprise her role in the hit franchise’s sixth installment. She recently wrapped production on the crime thriller Finest Kind directed by Oscar winner Brian Helgeland, was last seen starring in A24’s X and HBO’s The Fallout.
