Ted 2-fame Amanda Seyfried is on board to portray the spouse of actor Kevin Bacon's character in You Should Have Left.

David Koepp will direct the film from his own script for Blumhouse Productions. The company is planning to start shooting later this year.

The project is based on Daniel Kehlmann's 2017 novel of the same name, which is based on a screenwriter in a remote house in the Alps working on a sequel to his hit film along with his wife and a six-year-old kid. The writer begins to lose his bearings thanks to unexplained occurrences.

Bacon and Koepp have earlier collaborated on the 1999 supernatural thriller, Stir of Echoes.

Seyfried will next be seen in Mamma Mia!: Here We Go Again, in which she will reprise her role as Sophie Sheridan.
