Stephen Moyer Cast in The Barrens

Stephen Moyer, who plays William Compton in HBO's hit series "True Blood", will be starring in the upcoming film, "The Barrens".

The film follows a family that goes on a camping trip in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. The father, played by Moyer, is sure that the Jersey devil, the legendary winged creature, is stalking them.

The Darren Lynn Bousman film will begin filming later this month in Toronto.
