EXCLUSIVE: Deadline has learned that Abby’s star and Parks and Recreation alum Natalie Morales has joined the cast of Warner Bros.’ The Little Things opposite Oscar winners Denzel Washington and Rami Malek.
The pics follows Deke (Washington), a burned-out Kern County, CA. deputy sheriff who teams with Baxter (Malek), a crack LASD detective, to nab a serial killer. Deke’s nose for the “little things” proves eerily accurate, but his willingness to circumvent the rules embroils Baxter in a soul-shattering dilemma. Meanwhile, Deke must wrestle with a dark secret from his past. Jared Leto is in talks to join in the role as the serial killer in the project from writer-director John Lee Hancock.
