Dianne Wiest Set, Chris Cooper In Foretells Star In Noah Baumbach/Scott Rudins Cinemax Pilot The Corrections

EXCLUSIVE: Cinemax is certainly going for many serious acting firepower around the Noah Baumbach/Scott Rudin drama The Corrections. The pay cable network has Oscar champion Chris Cooper in discussions and 2-time Oscar champion Dianne Wiest looking for the 2 leads within the project according to Jonathan Franzens book, that is not yet been formally greenlighted to pilot. The award-wining 2001 novel involves the troubles of the seniors Midwestern couple, to become performed by Cooper and Wiest, and their three adult children — roles that are increasingly being cast — because they trace their lives in the mid-20th century to 1 last Christmas together near the turn from the millennium. Baumbach and Franzen co-authored the variation, with Baumbach set to direct the pilot. Rudin, who was simply developing the work for ten years, initially like a feature, is executive creating with Baumbach and Franzen. ICM-repped Wiest, whose previous Cinemax series role on In Treatment gained her an Emmy, will next be observed in The Odd Existence Of Timothy Eco-friendly and Lawrence Kasdan’s Darling Companion. Cooper, repped by Paradigm and Untitled, will next be observed in The Muppets. His newest TV gig would be a co-starring role within the 2003 Cinemax movie The House In Umbria, which arrived him an Emmy nomination.
