Based on this set photo, it appears that ‘Beast Of The Southern Wild<\/a><\/strong>‘s’ Quvenzhan\u00e9 Wallis<\/a><\/strong> has been added to Steve McQueen<\/strong>‘s film ‘12 Years A Slave<\/strong>.’<\/p>\n

Starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Brad Pitt<\/strong> and Michael Fassbender<\/strong>, the film is based on an autobiography written in 1853 by Solomon Northup, a free black man who became enslaved. The script tells how Northup (Ejiofor) was kidnapped and put in a slave pen, paving the way for a grueling life under numerous owners.<\/p>\n

Quvenzhane Wallis and 5-year old Cameron Zeigler<\/strong> are the Northup children.<\/p>\n

The Twelve Years cast also includes Alfre Woodard, Benedict Cumberbatch, Lupita Nyong\u2019o, Ruth Negga, Paul Giamatti, Paul Dano, Michael K. Williams, Taran Killam, <\/strong>Adepero Odyue, Sarah Paulson<\/strong>, and Wallis’ ‘Beast Of The Southern Wild’ co-star Dwight Henry<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

McQueen co-wrote the script with John Ridley<\/strong> (\u201cRed Tails\u201d). Dede Gardner<\/strong> and Jeremy Kleiner<\/strong> will produce for Pitt’s company, Plan B.<\/p>\n
