Anna Kendrick and Jonathan Levine are WITH CANCER

UP IN THE AIR Oscar hopeful Anna Kendrick and ALL THE BOYS LOVE MANDY LANE and THE WACKNESS director (and past WeAreMovieGeeks guest blogger) Jonathan Levine have both signed on to respectively co-star and direct the film until recently titled I’M WITH CANCER.   According to a release from Mandate Pictures, they will be joining the project which already has James McAvoy and Seth Rogen attached to star.

Written by Will Reiser, the film stars McAvoy as a young man who learns he has the disease.   The screenplay was based on Reiser’s actual accounts of battling and successfully winning against cancer.   Kendrick has signed on to star as the young psychologist who helps McAvoy’s character cope.

Principal photography is set to begin in February in Vancouver.   We just want to give a hearty congratulations to Levine, a truly gifted director and an awesome guy to boot.
