Chloë Sevigny and Zooey Deschanel to star in Divorce Ranch

What do high-waisted houndstooth shorts, an oversized elf and the prolific M. Ward all have in common? Not a whole lot, except for being vaguely related things to highlight Chloë Sevigny and Zooey Deschanel’s new comedy, Divorce Ranch.

The film is set in post-World War II Nevada at a ranch where quick work is made of processing divorces. Sevigny’s character brings her six-year-old son and her assistant (Deschanel) on a trip to the ranch. Although the details are a bit hazy on how all this works, Sevigny’s character has an end goal of wrangling herself a wealthy man.

Rock-doc extraordinaire Michael Lindsay-Hogg is set to direct, produce and write the project. Anne Clements will also help produce. Doubtful if this period piece will allow for aforementioned shorts or buzz cuts; however, check it out to see two of indie film's finest on the same screen.
