Dove Cameron Gets Dark: Stars With RJ Mitte in Chilling Thriller 'Cassi'

Dove Cameron is taking on a distinctly darker vibe for her next major film project. The former Disney Channel breakout and pop star is joining forces with *Breaking Bad* veteran RJ Mitte for an upcoming psychological thriller titled *Cassi*. International sales agency VMI International is officially launching the project to prospective distributors at the Toronto International Film Festival market this fall, sparking fresh interest in the dark indie feature. Helmed by writer-director Josh Webber, the movie places Cameron right at the center of a high-stakes dramatic narrative that strays far from her musical comedy roots.

The casting marks an exciting career pivot for both leads. Cameron, who won an Daytime Emmy for her work on *Liv and Maddie* before scoring pop hits like "Boyfriend," has been actively pursuing more mature and gritty projects in recent years. Mitte, who won critical praise for his long-running role as Walter White Jr. in AMC’s acclaimed series *Breaking Bad*, continues to carve out a distinct career path in independent cinema. With sales underway at TIFF, fans of both actors won't have to wait long to see how this eerie pairing plays out on screen.
