Actor Toby Kebbell will reportedly star in 'A Monster Calls', an adaptation of the children's fantasy novel by Patrick Ness.
The cast of the Juan Antonio Bayona's film already includes Felicity Jones, Liam Neeson and Sigourney Weaver, said The Hollywood Reporter.
'A Monster Calls' is about a young boy who attempts to deal with bullying at the hands of his classmates, and his mother's terminal illness, by escaping into a fantastical world through the guidance of a tree monster.
Kebbel, 32, will allegedly play the boy's father, a man with a history of not being there for his son. Jones is on board as the mother, while Neeson is playing the titular monster. Weaver is playing the boy's no-nonsense grandmother.
Focus Features, River Road Entertainment, Participant Media and Lionsgate International are behind the movie, which is set for October 14 release in 2016.
