In the run-up to the EFM in Berlin, Protagonist Pictures announced final casting on Rebecca Miller comedy Maggie’s Plan.
Boyhood star Ethan Hawke, Bill Hader (The Skeleton Twins), Maya Rudolph (Bridesmaids) and Travis Fimmel (‘Vikings‘)have joined Greta Gerwig (Frances Ha) and Julianne Moore (Still Alice) in the cast.
Maggie’s Plan is described as “a screwball take on the fluctuations of modern love that puts a new spin on the romantic comedy”.
The film, based on a story by Karen Rinaldi, is set to start production in New York on Feb 23.
Rachael Horovitz (Moneyball) produces alongside Miller and Damon Cardasis.
The film is being financed by Freedom Media, Locomotive, Hyperion and Three Point Capital.
Executive producers are Freedom’s Phil Stephenson and Temple Williams, Locomotive’s Lucy Barzun Donnelly and Alexandra Kerry, and Hyperion’s Michael Mailis and Susan Wrubel.
CAA and Cinetic are representing North American rights, while international rights are with Protagonist Pictures, which will be pushing the title at the European Film Market (Feb 5-13) from this week.
Miller’s previous film credits include: Personal Velocity: Three Portraits starring Kyra Sedgwick, Parker Posey and Fairuza Balk; The Ballad of Jack and Rose starring Camilla Belle and Daniel Day-Lewis; and The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, based on Miller’s novel and starring Robin Wright, Alan Arkin and Maria Bello.
