'The OC' star Mischa Barton is to play the lead role in a new thriller called 'Homecoming'.
Variety says the film tells the story of a young man and his girlfriend who return to his hometown to visit his family.
But they discover that his former high school sweetheart (Barton) has developed an unhealthy obsession about him.
The film will be helmed by former 'Dawson's Creek' director Morgan J Freeman.
Barton's new film, the Richard Attenborough-directed 'Closing the Ring', opens in Irish cinemas on Friday 28 December.
