I think we can all agree that the world is a better place when Juliette Lewis is starring in movies. Seriously, was there a more prolific young actress in the 90s? Better yet, was there a more ubiquitous female face in top-quality films than Lewis during that span. Hard to name one…

So, after taking a semi-hiatus to rock the mic in Juliette and the Licks, Ms. Lewis (pictured) is back in the acting game, and I for one couldn’t be more pleased. The fact she just signed on to a genre flick with Forrest Whitaker and William H. Macy is just icing on the damn cake!

A SINGLE SHOT, a new cat-and-mouse thriller from director David M. Rosenthal (FALLING UP, JANIE JONES) has just added Lewis, in a cast that also includes Alessandro Nivola, Juno Temple and Leslie Mann.

Check the plot-crunch:

The tragic death of a beautiful young girl starts a tense and atmospheric game of cat and mouse between hunter John Moon and the hardened backwater criminals out for his blood.

Sounds decent enough on its own, then considering the caliber of acting talent onboard, this could definitely be a flick worth keeping abreast of. Would you agree?

A SINGLE SHOT is aimed at a 2012 release.
