Exclusive: J.K. Simmons, Allen Leech and Fernanda Urrejola have signed to star in the thriller The Woods. Isabelle Anay is also on board. Michelle Schumacher will direct from a screenplay she co-wrote with Carolyn Carpenter. Randle Schumacher will produce for Rubber Tree Productions.
The film centers on a teenage girl suffering from anxiety due to a tragic event from her past who finds herself hunted through the woods by a sociopath on a murderous rampage.

But now that his two children are in college, Simmons has freed himself to unleash his inner villain.
