Yelchin will portray the son of Gibson's and Foster's characters. Gibson's playing a depressed man who finds solace in wearing a beaver hand-puppet; Foster will play his wife, whom the son lobbies to get a divorce.
The script, written by Kyle Killen, topped the Blacklist in December. Foster came on to the project first and brought it to Gibson, with whom she co-starred in 1994's "Maverick."
Jennifer Lawrence has also been cast.
Summit Entertainment picked up "The Beaver" last month and plans for a fourth quarter 2010 or early 2011 release. It will also have rights in most foreign markets.
Yelchin also appeared in "Terminator Salvation."
He's repped by CAA.
