I've been following the casting of this film for months now. I'm so excited about it!! It's a comedy/drama adapted from the Pulitzer/Tony winning play by Tracy Letts about a dysfunctional family from Oklahoma who all come together after the patriarch goes missing. I worked on a production of the play a few months ago, and I love it so much!! The movie version is sure to be spectactular! Shooting begins in a few weeks in Oklahoma.
