Dylan McDermott, Zoe Saldana, Lake Bell, Nick Stahl, Paz Vega and Shannen Doherty have signed on to star in Christopher Landon’s upcoming satire” Burning Palms.”

According to THR, the film pokes fun at Angeleno stereotypes as told through five interlacing stories, with each character moving toward a dark and often comic fate.

Also on board are Emily Meade, Rosamund Pike, Colleen Camp, Jamie Chung and Robert Hoffman, among others.

Wow, what a cast.

Landon, who co-wrote “Blood and Chocolate” and D.J. Caruso’s “Disturbia,” is directing his own script.

Some cast members already are established performers. Saldana, who most recently starred in “Vantage Point,” will next be seen in J.J. Abrams’ “Star Trek” reboot. Bell is currently onscreen in “Pride and Glory.”

As for Vega, she will next be seen as Plaster of Paris in “The Spirit.” Meanwhile, Meade recently wrapped filming for Wes Craven’s “25/8.”
