"Provinces of Night" Seeks Extras

Hilary Duff will begin filming her new movie, Provinces of Night, soon. There were indications that the filming would begin in March, but the production hit delays. Filming is now rescheduled from April 15th to May 19th.

Toby Keith was set to star with Hilary Duff in the movie, but has since pulled out of the film due to the delays and previous obligations to play for troops in Afghanistan. Toby believes that Val Kilmer and Dwight Yoakam will replace him and Kris Kristofferson, who also had to pull out of the film.

The film, Provinces of Night, is based upon a novel of the same name by William Gay. The book is set in 1952 and follows the story of E.F. Bloodworth, a man who has returned to his Tennessee home after 20 years of roaming. The wife he left has faded and his three sons are grown up and angry – one a womanizing alcoholic, one driven to jealously hunt down his wife’s lover and one who puts hexes on his enemies. With all his sons hating him, Bloodworth finds solace in his grandson, Fleming, who respects him and his age. Fleming learns from the men in his family how anger can poison the soul and he rejects it for his true love, the beautiful Raven Lee. I’m going to assume that Hilary Duff is Raven Lee.
