Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, the filmmaking team responsible for Half Nelson and Sugar, just announced who will be starring in their next movie: It's Kind of a Funny Story. With filming expected to begin in December in New York City on the Focus Features production, Boden and Fleck revealed United States of Tara's Keir Gilchrist has landed the lead role. The Hangover's Zach Galifianakis, Emma Roberts, Viola Davis, Zoe Kravitz, Aasif Mandvi, Lauren Graham and Jim Gaffigan have also been cast in the comedy-drama.

Based on the novel by Ned Vizzini, the story follows Craig (Gilchrist), a 16 year old who checks himself into a mental health clinic because he's too stressed out to deal with life. Although he's just a teen, he's placed in the adult ward because the youth section is closed. There he finds a mentor in Bobby (Galifianakis) and a love interest in Noelle (Roberts).

Focus CEO James Schamus calls and Boden and Fleck two of the finest independent filmmakers working today. "The compassion they always show towards the characters in their movies will be particularly in evidence in this humane comedy, especially as performed by these wonderful actors," stated Schamus.

Do you guys think there is any chance Lauren will actually be at the Toronto Film Festival? The premiere date for the movie is September 11, which is a Saturday.

..just wondering because there are a few other movies I would like to see on that day and I'm wondering if it's worth buying a ticket to this movie before it's in theatres if Lauren won't even be there.

I don´t know if Lauren will be there but I would go to see the movie for sure because it will be released only in a few theaters in the US and so there´s a change that you could end up not seeing it at all.

Good question, gilmorecoffee! It would be nice for her to be there so you can go and report back to us.

I saw a huge poster for it last night at my movie theater - and last week, when I was at the same movie theater, they showed it as one of the previews. I guess I'll get to see it on the day it opens!!!!

ETA: I feel like it's going to be released at more theaters than originally intended, since it's going to be at my movie theater.

She wasn't on the official guests list I've seen the other day, but I don't know if it was a def. one. You can see it here

Yeah, I know. I only wrote that because you had written it would only be released in a few theaters in the U.S. I wasn't referring to gilmorecoffee's question.

gilmorecoffee, I feel like she probably won't be there due to a combination of Parenthood shooting and the fact that her role is relatively small in the movie. But I would take the opportunity to see it anyhow, if I were you, just in case it doesn't play much in Canada (like Katka just mentioned).
