Helen Hunt to Write, Direct, and Star in Longtime Pet Project
Oscar-winner Helen Hunt ("As Good As It Gets"), after a four-year absence from the silver screen, will return to write, direct and star in "Then She Found Me," as adapted from the novel by Elinor Lipman.
Variety explains that "Hunt will play a Philadelphia schoolteacher hitting a midlife crisis. In quick succession, her husband leaves, her adoptive mother dies and her real one, an eccentric talkshow host, materializes and turns her life upside down as she begins a courtship with the father of one of her students." Diane Keaton ("Annie Hall") and Woody Harrelson ("The People Vs. Larry Flynt") are expected to join Ms. Hunt as the production gets underway later this year.
