Melissa Sagemiller ("Sorority Boys", "Soul Survivors") has scored the lead female role in Disney's "The Guardian" alongside Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher reports Variety.
The story centers on a Coast Guard ocean-rescue swimmer (Costner) haunted by tragedy. Kutcher plays a recruit who becomes his protege, with Sagemiller now aboard as Kutcher's love interest, a strong-willed schoolteacher.
The script has been penned by Ron Brinkerhoff with rewrites by Jamie Vanderbilt. Shooting under the helm of Andrew Davis begins in Louisiana in December. Sagemiller will next be seen opposite Billy Bob Thornton in New Line's "Mr. Woodcock".
