LOS ANGELES, CA August 6, 2012 - Fox Searchlight Pictures announced today that

Los Angeles. The film will star Emmy® and Golden Globe® winner Julia

(LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE), Ben Falcone (WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOURE EXPECTING), Eve
Hewson (THIS MUST BE THE PLACE) and in her film debut, fashion blogger Tavi
Gevinson. The film marks acclaimed writer/director Nicole Holofceners fifth
feature film, following her previous features PLEASE GIVE, FRIENDS WITH MONEY,
LOVELY & AMAZING and WALKING AND TALKING, all written and directed by the
celebrated independent filmmaker. Anthony Bregman (OUR IDIOT BROTHER, ETERNAL
SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND) is producing. Matthew Greenfield, Senior Vice
President of Production and Erin Hagerty, Creative Executive are overseeing the
project for Fox Searchlight Pictures. UNTITLED NICOLE HOLOFCENER PROJECT will
be released worldwide by Fox Searchlight Pictures. The film will shoot in and
around Los Angeles throughout August and September.
Eva (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) is a divorced soon-to-be empty-nester wondering about
her next act. Then she meets Marianne (Catherine Keener), the embodiment of her
perfect self. Armed with a restored outlook on being middle-aged and single,
Eva decides to take a chance on her new love interest Albert (James Gandolfini)
- a sweet, funny and like-minded man. Things get complicated when Eva discovers
that Albert is in fact the dreaded exhusband of Marianne. This sharp
insightful comedy follows Eva as she humorously tries to secretly juggle both
relationships and wonders whether her new favorite friend's disastrous ex can be
her cue for happiness.
We have always admired Nicole for her unique voice and storytelling abilities.
For this film she has again delivered a distinctive and relatable script that
this talented group of actors can really bring to life, said Lewis.
I'm very excited and can't wait to start working with these hilarious wonderful
actors, said Holofcener.
The folks at Fox Searchlight have wanted to work with Nicole for years and she
came up with this funny, heartbreaking story about people trying to live with
and without each other. It's as full of life and truth as plums in a plum
pudding, said Bregman.
