Exclusive: Gabrielle Union, Jena Malone, Zach Gilford and "Mad Men" thesp John Slattery are set to star in the indie dramedy "Family Tree."
Brian Savelson is directing from his own screenplay. Anish Savjani ("Meek's Cutoff") is producing with Vincent Savino.

Slattery and Gilford star as an estranged father and son who accidentally wind up in the same vacation home with their two girlfriends. Union will play Slattery's love interest who's practically the same age as his son, which makes for some awkward encounters. Malone will play Gilford's girlfriend.

Production is scheduled to start this June in upstate NY.


Malone recently starred in Zack Snyder's "Sucker Punch" and wrapped a trio of films -- the lesbian teen romance "Jack and Diane," M. Blash's drama "The Wait" and the Paul Dano-Jon Heder pic "For Ellen." Read full article.
