Michelle Williams and Meat Loaf Aday have been tapped to star in "Hole in One," a dark comedy set in the 1950s, reports Variety.
The story follows a woman who becomes convinced that a "transorbital" lobotomy will solve all her problems -- and her gangster boyfriend, who tries to talk her out of it.
Also cast are Bill Raymond, Tim Guinee, Wendell Pierce and Louis Zorich.
The independently financed project marks the debut feature of writer-director Richard Ledes. He wrote "Hole in One" after five years of research on mental health and popular culture in the course of getting his Ph.D. in comparative literature at NYU.
