Karl Urban and Adriana Barraza have signed on to star in Marcos Efron's upcoming remake "And Soon the Darkness."

The Hollywood Reporter says the two are joining the already cast Amber Heard ("Remember the Daze") and Odette Yustman ("The Unborn").

The plot centers on two American girls who are enjoying a lovely a bike trip in Argentina when one of them disappears and the other one must find her before darkness falls.

Robert Fuest directed the original "And Soon the Darkness" in 1970. Pamela Franklin and Michele Dotrice starred.

Urban's credits include "Pathfinder," "Doom" and "The Bourne Supremacy." He will soon be seen in "Star Trek." As for Barraza, she was seen in "Babel." She will soon star in "Drag Me to Hell."

The story here sounds like something we've seen many times before, but with Heard and Yustman in the lead roles, there's plenty to look at for sure.
