Australian actors Emma Lung (“The Jammed”, “Peaches”) and Josh Lawson (“TVs Chandon Pictures”, TVs “Sea Patrol”) have been cast opposite Hollywood vet Ron Perlman (“Hellboy”) in the indie thriller "Crave," the directing debut of Charles de Lauzirika, says The Hollywood Reporter.

"Crave" centers on a troubled photographer (Lawson) whose dangerous visions wreak havoc when his romance with a young woman (Lung) ends and he is pursued by a world-weary detective (Perlman).

Lauzirika, a frequent producer of DVD and Blu-ray extras content, has worked on ancillary releases for such titled as “Twin Peaks”, wrote the screenplay with Robert Lawton ("Sex & Sushi") and will produce with Robert Green ("Waiting ...").

Filming commenced Friday in Detroit.
