Kate Beckinsale
Whoever is head of casting for Everybody's Fine, that person deserves a raise. Robert De Niro, Drew Barrymore, Kate Beckinsale and Sam Rockwell have been picked up to star in the remake. That's a lot of talent!
De Niro, Barrymore, Beckinsale and Rockwell for Everybody's Fine
To be directed by Kirk Jones off a script he wrote, Everybody's Fine will have De Niro as a widower who realizes that his deceased wife was his only connection to his children. He decides on a whim to take a road trip to reconnect with each of his grown kids, discovering that their lives are far from perfect. If you recognized the plot, the film is a remake of the Giuseppe Tornatore film Stanno tutti bene.
Miramax expects to get production rolling on the film later this month in Connecticut. The film marks the second time this year Miramax aggressively pursued a project as it was nearing the starting line. Back in February the studio agreed to team with Pathe on Cheri, an adaptation of the 1920s novel by French author Colette.
Kate Beckinsale has a few projects coming our way including Nothing But the Truth, Winged Creatures and Whiteout. Barrymore is prepping to have girlfriends hate their boyfriends when He's Just Not That Into You hits theaters.
