Kate Hudson joins 'Blood Moon' team

Los Angeles: Actress Kate Hudson is set to star with Craig Robinson in "Blood Moon".

Writer-director Ana Lily Amirpour's "Blood Moon" is being produced by Oscar-winner John Lesher (Birdman) via his Le Grisbi banner. 

Zac Efron is in talks to join the intriguing fantasy feature, which will chart the story of a girl with strange and dangerous abilities who escapes from a mental asylum in New Orleans, reports deadline.com.

Set in hedonistic streets of New Orleans, the film is inspired by fantasy-adventure movies of the 1980s and 1990s. It is understood to pair strange, violent and humourous sequences with a range of music from heavy metal to Italian techno. 

Production is set to begin in 2019.
