Betty Gabriel has been cast in the upcoming movie "Stem," which will be written and directed by Leigh Whannell. The actress recently portrayed Laney Rucker in the dystopian action film "The Purge: Election Year."

The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Jason Blum, founder and CEO of Blumhouse Productions, will soon be working with actress Betty Gabriel ("Good Girls Revolt," "12 Deadly Days," "Get Out") in the upcoming movie "Stem."

"The Purge: Election Year" will be shot by Leigh Whannell, who created the "Saw" franchise together with his friend James Wan. Whannel also produced and wrote for "Saw II," "Saw III," and "The Mule."

The film is set "in a near-future when technology controls nearly all aspects of life." Marshall-Green will portray a technophobe who is determined to avenge his murdered wife.
