Canadian director Atom Egoyan ("The Sweet Hereafter," "Chloe") has a killer cast slated for his next movie, "Queen Of The Night."

The latest actor to join the roster is Rosario Dawson ("Sin City," "Death Proof"), who joins the already-cast Ryan Reynolds ("Green Lantern," "Buried"), Scott Speedman ("Last Resort," "Barney's Version") and Mireille Enos ("The Killing").

Reynolds plays the father of an abducted child. Eight years after she was allegedly kidnapped, a series of clues convince him that the now 17 year-old girl is still alive. As the detective in charge of the case, Dawson's character becomes involved in the investigation, racing against time to rescue the imprisoned girl before the trail goes cold.

"Ryan Reynolds and Scott Speedman, Rosario Dawson and Mireille Enos -- Atom Egoyan has assembled a powerful cast to tell this riveting story of a father searching for his missing daughter," said Sally Caplan, Managing Director at eOne Films International.

Egoyan is an internationally known filmmaker, and is one of the most successful independent film directors in the world. His films include "Next of Kin," "Family Viewing" and "Exotica." The multiple-award-winning Egoyan recently completed production of his latest film, "Devil's Knot," starring Reese Witherspoon and Colin Firth.
