As first reported on Deadline.com, actress Marcia Gay Harden is set to star in the upcoming film SUPREME RULER. Harden joins previously announced cast members Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Brian Geraghty and Vincent D'Onofrio.

The film, set in a small Midwestern town, tells the story of Steve (Morgan) and his attempt to become the 'Supreme Ruler' of his local Buffalo lodge. He soon finds himself up against a senior lodge member, Hank (D'Onofrio). In order to gain voters, he visits the Order's annual convention in Chicago, where he meets Nancy (Harden), a more established "Supreme Ruler."

The film will mark the feature-length directorial debut of Duane Edwards, who directed the short films Hit And Run and The Confession. The project will be produced by Steven A. Jones.

Harden debuted on Broadway in 1993 in the role of Harper Pitt in Tony Kushner's ANGELS IN AMERICA. The role earned her critical acclaim and she received a Tony Award nomination (Best Featured Actress in a Play).

In 2009, Harden returned to Broadway in GOD OF CARNAGE and received a Tony Award for her work in the play. Harden's work in film has earned her a 2000 Academy Award (for Pollock) and a 2004 nomination (Mystic River).
