The dark indie comedy, The Oranges, has been working its way to the screen for several years now, with numerous false starts, however it’s now actually started filming, with Hugh Laurie and Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester in the lead roles.
The film is about a middle-aged man’s romantic relationship with the daughter of a family friend, which unsurprisingly turns their lives upside-down. Now Variety reports that a few interesting names have been added to the cast, with Allison Janney, Oliver Platt, Alia Shawkat, Adam Brody and Sam Rosen all confirmed for roles in the movie, although as yet there’s no news on what parts they’ll play.
The Oranges is currently shooting in New York, with Julian Farino at the helm, working from Jay Reiss and Ian Helfer’s script.
