Buckley’s official website says that the former Sunset Boulevard star will play Let in the new film, which was written and directed by J.S. Cardone. Others in the motion picture include Jonathan Schaech as Jesse, Brad Renfro as Wyatte, Clare Kramer as Sarah, Lori Heuring as Billie, Wade Williams as Temple, Jodi Lyn O'Keefe as Jackie, Busy Philips as Carol Ann, Amanda-Lee Aday as Bevers, Ashley Louise Edner as Young Billie, Luke Strode as Young Jesse and F.J. Flynn as Father. A release date has yet to be announced. Set in the roadside diner Armadillo Café, the film concerns a young woman named Sarah who happens upon the diner and encounters an eclectic array of characters. Her presence in the Café — which features a life sized mummy and a stuffed armadillo — unleashes the “deep and dark secrets” of many of the diner’s inhabitants.
