Jonathan Levine’s now Untitled Cancer Dramedy, previously titled “I’m With Cancer,” has added thesps Anjelica Huston and Philip Baker Hall to it’s already star-studded cast.
The two will join the exciting congregation of James McAvoy, Seth Rogen, Anna Kendrick and Bryce Dallas Howard in the story of a man who learns he has cancer and successfully battles the disease over several years. No word yet on who Huston and Baker Hall will play but the parents of the cancer victim protagonist, played by McAvoy, might be a good guess?
The story is based on the real experiences of the film’s screenwriter Will Reiser, who won his own fight with cancer in his mid-20s. Reiser is executive producing alongside Mandate Pictures’ Nathan Kahane with Rogen, his working partner Evan Goldberg and former “Daily Show” exec producer Ben Karlin producing.
Production is slated to begin this month in Vancouver.
