Here's your least shocking but most frustrating news of the day: being the child of a celebrity means you can get your movie made without much real effort. When Max Winkler, son of Henry, finished his script Ceremony, he simply showed it to his friend Jason Reitman, son of Ivan and Oscar-nominated director of Juno. And voila! Winkler will write and direct his script about two young men crashing a tony wedding, and Jesse Eisenberg and Michael Angarano are likely to star.
The movie, as described by Winkler in a super-long THR article, sounds more The Graduate than Wedding Crashers-- "tonally funny and sad at the same time but of a manageable scale." Eisenberg can definitely pull that off; he was the emotional heart of both this year's Adventureland and The Squid and the Whale, and has that Michael Cera awkwardness without the self-aware cuteness that Cera has developed of late. Angarano is more of an unknown quantity-- anyone here see The Forbidden Kingdom and want to tell me how he was?
Production begins on the film this fall, and the key role of the older woman whom Eisenberg's character falls in love with has yet to be cast.
