Midnight Rider is based on Allman's biography My Cross to Bear, which chronicles the musician's life and career as one of the founding members of The Allman Brothers Band.
Ritter is set to play the young Allman, with William Hurt as the present day version.
Dushku has been cast as the small town girl who inspires the song 'Whipping Post'. Whitford takes on the role of Allman's current manager Michael Lehman, while Moore will play his previous manager Bill McEuen, who discovered the brothers.
Midnight Rider, written by Alan Light, also stars Vampire Academy 's Zoey Deutch as a groupie for the band.
The film's title is taken from one of the band's first successful songs.
