Kyle Gallner, Michael Angarano and Steven Root are in talks to co-star in Kevin Smith’s political horror film “Red State,” and Oscar nominated actress Melissa Leo is also circling the project, an individual familiar with the casting process has told TheWrap.

Dermot Mulroney was previously also listed among the cast, but The Wrap and Kevin have refuted that, at least for now. Root previously worked for Kevin in a small role in “Jersey Girl” – Some scoopers noted Kevin speaking with Root at Comic Con recently, as well.
