The two main leads in Danish auteur Lars von Trier's triumphant return to horror have finally been confirmed, according to Variety.com.

The famously fastidious writer-director will direct recently-announced thesps Willem Dafoe and French beauty Charlotte Gainsbourg as a couple who retreat to a cabin after a personal tragedy but find little solace in the woods.

The long-gestating film, Antichrist, sits somewhere between a psychological thriller and a horror flick, but with von Trier at the helm, it's sure to transcend both genres.

Writing credits are shared between Oscar-nominated writer/director Anders Thomas Jensen and von Trier himself.

Production is set to begin later this month in Germany.
