Chloe Grace Moretz and Rupert Grint are joining the cast of "The Drummer," a biopic about Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson, the film's producers said Wednesday.

Moretz ("Hugo," "Kick Ass") will play Jennifer Wilson, the late drummer's daughter. Grint will play Stan Shapiro, a one-time intern in the William Morris Agency mailroom who became a close friend of the drummer.

Aaron Eckhart plays Wilson and Vera Farmiga plays Wilson's lover, Fleedwood Mac singer Christine McVie.

The movie chronicles the last six years of Wilson's life.
