Levitt is the main character now? I'm there!
For the last two years or so, weve been reporting on Summit Entertainments Untitled Cancer Comedy, which was formerly titled Im With Cancer. The movie finally has an official title: Live With It, clever eh?
The film is an autobiographical story based on the real experiences of screenwriter Will Reiser, a producer on HBOs Da Ali G Show and VH1s Best Week Ever, who was diagnosed with cancer in his mid-20s and successfully battled the disease over several years. Directed by Wackness helmer Jonathan Levine, the film stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a 25-year-old who learns he has a rare form of terminal cancer.
His family and friends from girl-crazy best buddy Kyle (Seth Rogen), to insecure girlfriend Rachael (Bryce Dallas Howard) and overbearing but loving mom (Angelica Huston) attempt to help him through this process in the best way they know how which is reflected in some of the most hilarious and bizarre ways ever. Its about two men dealing with friendship, love, and survival in no particular order.
Really looking forward to it. Seth Rogen pretty much plays a slightly exaggerated version of himself in this since it's based on what he went through with his friend who had cancer.
I knew about the screen-writer, didn't know that about Rogen though.Yup. Seth was there when Will battled with the disease so he's essentially playing himself.
