A huge array of performers are currently in talks to star in the film, including Seann William Scott, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jason Lee, Janeane Garofalo, Tim Blake Nelson, Ali Larter, Kevin Smith and Amy Poehler.
After the cult success of Donnie Darko, Southland Tales looks to gain an even greater audience for Kelly's quirky style. (Kim Hollis/BOP)
