There are a few ingredients that guarantee you'll secure our cabooses into a movie theater seat. In this instance, those ingredients include Philip Seymour Hoffman, Viggo Mortensen and a smidge of, wait for it, cannibals.

New York entertainment blog Vulture caught wind of the upcoming horror flick Vanikoro, which was written and directed by Xavier Gens. As the story goes, French explorer La Perouse gets shipwrecked on one of the Vanikoro islands. While most of the crew MacGyvers a boat to sail away, two stay back.

Seymour and Mortensen are "in talks" to join the cast (via Bloody-Disgusting.com). No dates for the film have been set yet.
