The cast, according to Deadline, will also include Enrico Colantoni, Maryann Plunkett, Tammy Blanchard, Wendy Makkena, Sakina Jaffrey, Noah Harpster, Maddie Corman, Matthew Rhys, Susan Kelechi, and Chris Cooper.
In order to shoot the film, Cusack, who was seen this summer at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in the new musical Lempicka, has canceled her October 29 concert at Sony Hall in New York City.
Cusack can also be seen in a recurring role opposite Elizabeth Olson and Janet McTeer on the new Facebook Watch series, Sorry For Your Loss. The series explores grief as an unavoidable and transformative part of life and features Cusack as the partner of McTeer’s ex-husband. The series premiered September 18, with two new episodes released every Tuesday.
