Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal to Star in 'Ekekiel Moss'

Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal will star in the Phillip Seymour Hoffman directed film "Ekekiel Moss"

The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Exclusive Media has come on board to handle international rights, and will launch the project to foreign buyers at Berlin's upcoming European Film Market. Hoffman has long been attached to direct the movie from the blacklisted script by Keith Bunin.

The film is set in the Prohibition Era and tells the story of Iris, an emotionally fragile woman grieving the loss of her husband. She runs a boarding house to get by and provide for her spirited son, Joel and they live in a small town overrun by religious fervor, and their lives are forever changed when she begins to fall in love with Ezekiel Moss, a mysterious drifter who has the divine ability to channel and physically inhabit the spirits of the dead.

The collaboration between Adams and Hoffman will mark the fourth time the two actors have been involved on a film together. Previously the actress starred alongside Hoffman in "The Master," "Doubt" and "Charlie Wilson's War."

Adams is a five-time Oscar nominee who has appeared in "American Hustle," "The Fighter," "Junebug," "Enchanted" and "The Master." She is slated to appear in Tim Burton's latest film "Big Eyes" with Christoph Waltz. The actress will also be seen in "Lullaby" and "Batman vs. Superman."

Gyllenhaal is best known for his work on "Brokeback Mountain" and "Zodiac." He was last seen in "Prisoners," "End of Watch," and "Source Code." The actor is set to appear in "Enemy" and "Nightcrawler."
