Michelle Trachtenberg

Kelly Preston has joined the cast for novelist Dominique Paul’s upcoming debut ’The Possibility Of Fireflies’.

Paul, who wrote the acclaimed novel, is preparing to head behind the camera to direct the resultant film from her own script and has secured Preston, as well as ’Buffy The Vampire Slayer’ star Michelle Trachtenberg for the script.

The story centres on a single mother who is trying to make her life work after her husband walks out on her, forcing her to raise her two daughters, of which Trachtenberg will play the eldest, alone.

According to Empire, Paul is set to start shooting in January in South Carolina.
