Wallis will play a patient who hasn\u2019t spoken a word for a year since her mother was murdered while Kruger will play the sister-in law of Crowe\u2019s character, who blames him for the death of her sister.<\/p>\n

\"Fruitvale<\/a>Crowe plays a famous novelist and widower struggling with mental illness in 1988 as he tries to raise his 5-year-old daughter. Seyfried will play the 30-year-old daughter in present-day Manhattan where she battles the demons that stem from her troubled childhood.<\/p>\n

Spencer was last seen in \u201cFruitvale Station<\/strong>\u201d and is currently shooting the James Brown<\/strong> biopic \u201cGet on Up<\/strong>\u201d with Chadwick Boseman, Viola Davis<\/strong> and Jill Scott<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
