Though she’s busy battling aliens in the new ABC drama V and will pop up again on Lost this season, Elizabeth Mitchell is carving out some time to shoot a movie too: She’ll star in the indie ensemble drama Answers to Nothing, EW.com has confirmed. In the film, which is set against the backdrop of a child abduction chase and focuses on lost Angelenos in search of redemption, Mitchell is a woman consumed by her desire to have a baby with her husband (Dane Cook). “Playing a hormonal woman whose marriage is shaky and who has lost her way through her ultimate obsession—I love stuff like that. That’s where I live,” she tells EW.com, adding: “The movie is a little bit like Magnolia where you get this glimpse into people’s lives and it may not be exactly what you want to see, but it is accurate.” Currently shooting in Los Angeles, Answers to Nothing also stars Julie Benz, Barbara Hershey, Zach Gilford, Kali Hawk, Eric Palladino, Mark Kelly, Miranda Bailey, and singer Aja Volkman. Matthew Leutwyler (Dead & Breakfast) is directing and co-writing the film, which is being produced by Ambush Entertainment (The Squid and the Whale).

Elizabeth Mitchell and Dane Cook? Unexpected…
Elizabeth Mitchell im sold!
Elizabeth Mitchell and Julie Benz…I am so there!!!
TOTALLY!
I’d watch a movie about a mute woman reading a phonebook if it has Elizabeth Mitchell in it.
Dane Cook? Really? I was intrigued before I read that little piece of parenthetical info.
Dane Cook = Ugh. Elizabeth Mitchell = awesome. I’m so conflicted! (Although to be fair, Cook was halfway decent in Dan in Real Life.)
Another reason to hate Dane Cook — he gets to be EM’s husband.
elizabeth mitchell and zach gilford! i may put aside my dislike for dane cook and see this.
Boy you guys said it… Elizabeth Mitchell, yum. Dane Cook, puke.
I. Love. Elizabeth Mitchell
Nothing about this movie sounds interesting except for the fact that Elizabeth Mitchell has signed on for it.
We get more Elizabeth Mitchell…He** Yeah!!! Bring it on…Love her.
Who’s producing this movie? hotchickswithdouchebags.com?
Unless the Cook character is supposed to be an unsympathetic jack@ss, it’s time to recast.
Singer Aja Volkmann??? That amazing voice from Nico Vega? If she’s singing in the film…OMG!
Dane Cook makes me gag, but I love Elizabeth Mitchell, so I can’t help but be interested. Ugh! EM: why do you have to be so awesome & amazing so as to FORCE me to care about anything involving Dane “I Joke About ‘Fu*king’ Impoverished Children at A Benefit For Them No Less” Cook??? FML..
I was interested until….Dane Cook. NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
