Garfield, Garner and Marcia Gay Harden are all attached to star in Back Roads, an adaptation of a best-selling book by Tawni O’Dell that will be directed by Adrian Lyne. The pair co-wrote the screenplay about a young man forced to raise his three sisters after their mother is sent to jail for killing their abusive father. Read more after the jump.

More than the cast, I’m excited to hear that Lynn is getting back behind the camera after an almost decade-long hiatus. He last directed 2002’s steamy Unfaithful and is well-known for his unique take on sexuality and suspense in films like Fatal Attraction, 9 1/2 Weeks and Indecent Proposal. He also did Jacob’s Ladder and Flashdance.

What, if anything, stands out to you about this project?
