Luke Grimes (“Shit Year”) will be the male lead opposite Chloe Sevigny as well as Jena Malone in “The Wait.” M. Blash-directed and written film is being produced by Neil Kopp and Ryan Crisman. Principal photography starts this week in Portland, Oregon.

Story tells of two sisters who decide to keep their deceased mother in the house after they get a call saying that she will come back to life. Grimes plays philosophical and enigmatic man who becomes smitten with Malone’s character.

Sevigny and Malone also starred together in Blash’s 2006 drama called “Lying.” That film included Maya Goldsmith, Halley Wegryn Gross and Leelee Sobieski.
