He’s not that well known over here, but thanks to the NBC comedy Outsourced, Ben Rappaport’s star is rising in the States (which is even more impressive considering the sitcom was his screen debut). Now he’s set to star in his first studio movie, as he has joined the cast of Great Hope Springs, according to Variety.
The movie is about a married couple (Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones) who try and rekindle their relationship by seeking therapy from an unorthodox guru (Steve Carell). Rappaport is onboard to play the married couple’s son.
David Frankel (The Devil Wears Prada) is directing Great Hope Springs from a screenplay by Vanessa Taylor. Shooting begins soon for a later 2012 release.
