Anton Yelchin, Imogen Poots, and Patrick Stewart Join Jeremy Saulnier's 'Green Room'

Jeremy Saulnier made quite a splash last year with his unpredictable revenge flick, Blue Ruin, which featured few recognizable faces but still had one great lead performance by Macon Blair. For his anticipated follow-up, Green Room, Saulnier will again team with Blair but the film will be led by much bigger names.

The Wrap reports that Patrick Stewart will play a white supremacist in Green Room, a thriller which sounds all kinds of awesome. First of all, it will reunite the Fright Night remake's Anton Yelchin and Imogen Poots, while the story centers on a punk rock band trapped in a secluded venue after stumbling upon a horrific act of violence, and must fight for their lives against a gang of white power skinheads intent on eliminating all witnesses. The peaceful Professor Xavier as a hateful white supremacist? Now that's just plain cool. Yelchin will play the band's leader while Poots is a skinhead who takes a stand against her racist friends.

Also part of the cast is Alia Shawkat, Mark Webber, Joe Cole, Callum Turner, Kai Lennox, and Eric Edelstein. Filming is underway now.
