Jason Ritter and Tom Wilkinson are joining the cast of Carrie Pilby, an indie YA adaptation starring Hailee Steinfeld.
Based on the coming-of-age novel by Caren Lissner, the film centers on Carrie (Steinfeld), a 19-year-old genius who has just graduated from Harvard and has no idea how to fit in or socialize in life outside college.
Wilkinson will play Mr. Pilby, Carrie's father, a widower who struggled to raise his extremely gifted daughter on his own. Ritter is playing Matt, an engaged man Carrie dates only to expose his infidelity to his fiancé.??
