Charisma Carpenter and Ty Olsson have been cast as leads in the indie thriller “Crash Site.”

The story centers on a family vacation in the woods, during which a couple must fight their way back to civilization through injuries, creepy critters and wild animals after their Jeep crashes. Jason Bourque is directing the film, which recently began principal photography in Vancouver.

Jack and Joseph Nasser (“Damage”) are producing.

Repped by APA and John Carrabino Management, Carpenter has been a regular on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Angel” and “Veronica Mars.” She now appears in Lionsgate’s action film “The Expendables.”

Olsson, repped by Pacific Artists Management and Roar, has been a regular on the series “Men in Trees,” “Battlestar Galactica” and “Defying Gravity.” In features, he has appeared in “2012,” “Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem” and “Just Friends.”

Actress Katie Findlay tweeted today that Charisma would be playing her mother in an upcoming movie.

Hachi machi Charisma Carpenter is playing my mum.

There are no details yet on the project so this may reference The Human Factor or it may be another new project.

The lovely Charisma Carpenter, currently in need of saving in Sylvester Stallone’s “The Expendables”, and “Boondock Saints” vigilante badass Sean Patrick Flanery (sans Norman Reedus) have join the cast of “The Human Factor”, a thriller that will also mark tough guy Michael Madsen’s directorial debut.

In “The Human Factor”, Carpenter will play Lori Stoltz, a character described as a “determined and strong-willed newspaper reporter”, while Flanery will play Eric O’Neill, a renegade police detectives (are there any other kind) determined to get to the truth. The film’s plot has the duo joining forces to uncover the disappearance of homeless people in New York City.

Joining Carpenter and Flanery on the film will be Carpenter’s fellow “Expendables” co-stars Eric Roberts and Gary Daniels, along with Danny Trejo, Luke Goss, Doug Jones, Tom Sizemore, Shalim Ortiz, and Michael Madsen.

Production on “The Human Factor” is scheduled for sometime next year.
