Actors Alicia Silverstone, Michael Pitt, and Ato Essandoh have joined the cast of Netflix's upcoming crime thriller Reptile.
The film is headlined by Benecio Del Toro and also features singer-actor Justin Timberlake. Actors Frances Fisher and Eric Bogosian are also joining the cast.
Del Toro will play the role of a hardened detective, who after the brutal murder of a young real estate agent, attempts to uncover the truth in a case where nothing is as it seems, and by doing so dismantles the illusions in his own life. Silverstone will play Del Toro's wife, while Pitt has been cast as "a man so obsessed over the murders that he begins a podcast around the case, entangling himself with the detective". Essandoh will play the role of an officer working with Del Toro.
The film will be directed by feature debutant Grant Singer, who also wrote the script with Benjamin Brewer.
Reptile will be produced by Molly Smith, Trent Luckinbill and Thad Luckinbill via Black Label Media. Del Toro will also serve as an executive producer alongside Rachel Smith.
