The "Pretty Little Liars" star will be playing the role of Japonica Fenway in the Anderson picture. The story for the movie comes from the lengthy detective novel of the same name, "Inherent Vice." The novel was penned by Thomas Pynchon and published in 2009, according to Variety.

Originally from South Africa, Sasha Pieterse has been acting since she was a child. She landed her first big role at the age of six, booking a recurring role on the Warner Brother's television show "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." The 6-year-old Pieterse was in eight episodes of the show.

She joined the cast of "Pretty Little Liars" when the ABC Family drama started in 2010 and many consider it her breakout role. The show is currently in its fourth season and is one of the most popular shows on television.

"Inherent Vice" has already started production and will hit theaters in 2014, according to IMBD.com. With a cast full of stars and a story based on a successful book, it's fair to expect big things from the upcoming Warner Brothers' production.
