Monroe, well-known for her performances in the acclaimed indie hits The Guest and It Follows, is set to play an aspiring actress named Sandra.
The Hollywood Reporter brings word that actress Maika Monroe (Independence Day: Resurgence) has signed on to join the cast of the upcoming indie drama Honey Boy with actor Shia LaBeouf (American Honey). Alma Har’el will direct the film.
The upcoming film was co-written by LaBeouf and Otis Lort, who the actor admitted was a pseudonym thus making the film written by LaBeouf himself.
Monroe joins an already strong cast that also includes Natasha Lyonne (Orange is the New Black), Martin Starr (Silicon Valley), Byron Bowers (The Chi) and Laura San Giacomo (NCIS).
