The autobiographical cancer comedy by Will Reiser deals with Reiser's discovery of the illness and his struggle to beat the disease. Mandate Pictures has tapped Seth Rogen along with writing partner Evan Goldberg to produce the project. Mandate is also developing Rogen and Goldberg's Apocalypse project. Director Jonathan Levine has been hired for the film with production to start in February. I expect we'll see the film released sometime in the fall.
James McAvoy (Last King of Scotland) and Seth Rogen (Observe & Report) will star. Actress Anna Kendrick (Up In The Air, Rocket Science, Scott Pilgrim) has also joined the film.
Jonathan Levine burst onto the indie-comedy scene with his film The Wackness. I loved it and Levine's visual style that made the film look like it was shot in the mid-90's. His film All The Boys Love Mandy Lane was also shockingly well done and wasn't the typical horror flick. I can't wait to see what he'll come up with this time around.
