Trammell is the second HBO-approved star to be cast as Woodley's parent, as Laura Dern ("Enlightened") is set to play Woodley's mother, as TheWrap first reported. "Twilight" producers Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen are producing through their Temple Hill banner. "(500) Days of Summer" screenwriters Scott Neustadter and Michael Weber adapted the novel.
