After joining the cast of It’s Not You, It’s Me, Joelle Carter is adding another film role to her list; THR has reported she’s been added to Lionsgate’s horror film Jessabelle. She will be joining Mark Webber (Scott Pilgrim) and Sarah Snook for the flick, which will have Saw 3D and Saw VI director Kevin Greutert helming the project.
Jessabelle revolves around “Jessie (Snook), who returns to her father’s Louisiana home after an accident robs her of the use of her legs.

Production for the project started a few weeks ago, with Jason Blum and Principato Young Entertainment are producing. As for Carter, she will also star in Phedon Papamichael‘s dramedy, Lost Angeles, out later this year.
