Elizabeth Olsen and “May/December” breakout star Charles Melton will star in Todd Solondz‘s dark comedy, “Love Child.”

According to a film synopsis, Love Child “follows Misty, who is stuck in a loveless marriage to a brutish husband, with her precocious 11-year-old, Junior, her only consolation. When Easy, a handsome vagabond stranger, appears, Junior hatches a plan to get rid of his father so that his mother can marry him instead. But things end up backfiring, so Junior comes up with yet another plan, this one even more devious, and with more disastrous—and unexpected—consequences.”

Said Solondz: “I am beyond excited to work with Elizabeth Olsen and Charles Melton on what will be a super fun and playful celebration of Hollywood movies. Added Olsen, “I am a long-time fan of Todd’s work and to collaborate with him on this film is a true dream.”
