Shailene Woodley Lands New Role

Shailene Woodley has landed a new role! The actress is set to star in Victoria Negri’s Ultra.

Described as a psychological thriller, Following the tragic death of her twin sister, Eve (Woodley) enters into the most intense athletic endeavor on the planet: the Badwater 135 Ultramarathon, a 135-mile race through Death Valley, where temperatures reach 54°C. As Eve takes on the unforgiving elements and intense physical and psychological strain of the race, she finds herself pursued by an unknown runner in white, consistently closing the gap between them as they surge through the desert. Trying to outrun the ominous presence, Eve will face the darkest parts of herself and uncover what she is made of.

Oh, this will be a good one for Woodley! Hopefully, her prep for this role finds her talking to people who participate in these races. The intensity and mental fortitude you have to have to run one of these races is extremely impressive.
