Evan Rachel Wood and Ellen Page team up for Into The Forest

New mom Evan Rachel Wood is heading back to work after signing up to head Into The Forest with Ellen Page in a film adaptation of Jean Hegland's disaster novel.

The pair will star as sisters battling to survive in a world without civilisation in the futuristic drama, which is based on the writer's hit 1996 book.

Page will perform double duty as co-producer of the movie, which will be directed by Gray Gardens filmmaker Patricia Rozema.

It marks Wood's first new job since welcoming a son with her husband Jamie Bell in July (13).
