Bones star Emily Deschanel has landed her next movie role.

The actress, who also starred in Devil in Ohio and My Sister's Keeper, will lead the science-fiction romance ReEntry.

Variety reports that Deschanel will star alongside The Fault in Our Stars, True Blood and Homeland actor Sam Trammell as well as The Little Mermaid and Doctor Who's Noma Dumezweni.

Deschanel will play Eleanor, a woman struggling to cope after the mysterious disappearance of her husband, played by Trammell. He went missing after Dumezweni's character enlisted him in a scientific experiment.

One day, Eleanor's husband turns up out of the blue – but he is actually a version of himself from a parallel world. She's faced with a choice: does she continue to wait for her actual husband or try and make things work with this new version of him?

Maulik Pancholy, Natalie Gold, Sanjit De Silva, and Maggie Geha also star.

Director Brendan Choisnet told the publication: "ReEntry is about the shifts that happen in all relationships. The chemistry that Emily and Sam created with their nuanced and specific performances was nothing short of masterful, and I can’t wait to bring it an audience.

"With powerful and moving turns by Noma and Maulik, we couldn’t be more thrilled to have all their talents bring this very personal story to life."

Writer Daniel Nayeri added: "You can make a bad film in a pleasant environment, and you can make a great film in a toxic one, but to make the right film the right way — with cast and crew who feel respected and creatively nourished — that is a noble calling, and a worthwhile one because it denotes that we aren’t selling a story as a final product to an audience, but rather inviting them into the conversation we had while making it.

Filming has wrapped on the project.

Joe Anderton is a freelance news writer and resident Welsh person at Digital Spy, having worked there since 2016. 

In his time he's covered a host of live events, interviewed celebrities big and small and crowbarred a countless amount of great/awful (delete as appropriate) puns into articles. 

A big fan of TV and movies both mainstream and obscure, Joe's main interest is in video gaming. Although particularly a PlayStation gamer, he plays across Xbox, Nintendo and PC/Steam Deck, and likes to keep tabs on many games he's not got the time to play.

Joe currently does not use Twitter, but he only ever used it to tell people to watch the film Help! I'm a Fish (which you really should do).
