Actress Anna Kendrick has joined the cast of the untitled new comedy to be directed by Jonathan Levine (“The Wackness”) and starring Seth Rogen and James McAvoy reports EW.com.
According to EW: James McAvoy stars as 25-year-old Adam, who learns he has cancer, a character based on the real experiences of screenwriter Will Reiser who was diagnosed with cancer in his mid-20s and successfully battled the disease over several years.
Nicole Holofcener (“Friends With Money”) was originally attached to direct but left the project in November due to differences over where to shoot the movie.
Kendrick will play the role of Katherine, a young psychologist assigned to handle Adam's case despite her lack of real life experience. Seth Rogen also has a role in the film and will produce alongside Evan Goldberg and Ben Karlin.
The as-of-yet untitled film kicks off shooting in Vancouver next month.
