Harris, Roberts head for 'Virginia'

Ed Harris and Emma Roberts have joined the cast of indie drama What's Wrong With Virginia, reports Variety.

Amy Madigan will also star in the project, which is being directed and scripted by Dustin Lance Black (Milk).

Harris has replaced Liam Neeson in the role of a sheriff, who has his state senate bid placed in jeopardy by his daughter's (Roberts) relationship with the son of a "psychologically disturbed woman". Madigan is cast as the sheriff's wife.

Jennifer Connelly was previously confirmed to play the title character. Connelly and Harris have worked together twice before on Pollock and A Beautiful Mind.
