Former “Mad Men” starlet Abigail Spencer is set to star in geek-messiah Joss Whedon’s (The Avengers) modestly budgeted sci-fi romance In Your Eyes. Spencer will play a woman whose life is supernaturally intertwined with that of a man she would normally never befriend.

She tells Vulture:

It’s my first time [doing a project with Whedon], but I’ve always wanted to work with him. I’m so excited to do it. It’s the most romantic film in the history of time. It’s a supernatural romance.

Spencer, who is coming off last year’s Uni tent-pole Cowboys & Aliens, will next be seen as a mother who believes her child may be possessed in The Lionsgate sequel The Haunting in Georgia and as an assistant to young magician Oz in Sam Raimi’s Oz, the Great and Powerful.

In Your Eyes is directed by Brin Hill (Ball Don’t Lie) from a script by Whedon, who produces with Kai Cole through their recently launched Bellwether Pictures studio.
