Denverite Laurel Harris to play Willem Dafoe's wife in upcoming Dean Koontz adaptation?

Nevertheless, there may be at least one bright spot for local folks in Steven Sommers' upcoming adaptation of the novelist's Odd Thomas: a bit performance by Denver actress Laurel Harris, who evidently plays the wife of Wyatt Porter, played by Willem Dafoe -- actually, based solely on the cast, the movie might not be that bad. When Dafoe, 50 Cent, Patton Oswalt and possibly Tim Robbins are in your movie, how bad could it be?

Among those characters is Shamus Cocobolo, a blind Shaman played by 50 Cent, and Police Chief Wyatt Porter, Dafoe's character.
Harris plays a minor character named Karla, and while we were unable to confirm that she is actually Dafoe's wife (that came from a tip), wouldn't it be totally weird if she was? Seriously, though, because the last time somebody played Willem Dafoe's wife in a movie, that shit got fucked up:
