THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER – The Hunger Games‘ Josh Hutcherson has signed on to star opposite Suki Waterhouse (Assassination Nation) and Tilda Cobham-Hervey (Hotel Mumbai) in the thriller Plume.

Plume is being produced by Yale Prods.’ Jordan Yale Levine, Jordan Beckerman, Michael J.

“I am beyond ecstatic for the opportunity to work with such a talented trio of actors in Josh, Suki and Tilda,” said Gan. “I’m a huge fan of their work and feel they’re perfectly suited to bring the characters of Melinda, Billy and Sheila to life.”
Hutcherson is known for his leading role in the Hunger Games franchise, as well as more recently in The Disaster Artist and the Hulu series Future Man.
