'Ithaca' is a deceptively simple story, by turns stark and lyrical. It's sometimes shockingly unsentimental and yet, by some little miracle, never cynical.
I am delighted to no end to bring a tale of such vibrancy and heart to the screen," Bang Showbiz quoted her as saying.
Ryan will also act in the film, which is about a telegram delivery boy in America during World War II who sends messages to a number of people and witnesses the consequences these have.
The actress will be joined by Sam Shepard, Melanie Griffith, and her 21-year-old son Jack Quaid in the cast of the film.
