Jake Gyllenhaal and Carey Mulligan will appear onscreen together for the first time in Wildlife, the upcoming directorial debut from actor Paul Dano.
Mulligan was last seen in last year’s feminist period drama Suffragette; she recently finished production on the Mississippi Delta-set period drama Mudbound, opposite Jason Clarke and Garrett Hedlund.
Gyllenhaal’s most recent film, Tom Ford’s thriller Nocturnal Animals, was recently screened at the Venice and Toronto film festivals.
Dano co-wrote the screenplay for Wildlife with his partner Zoe Kazan, who wrote the 2012 romantic comedy Ruby Sparks, in which both she and Dano starred.
