Replacing Rachel Weisz in the comedy drama
As if there hadn’t been enough changes already both behind and in front of the camera, relationship comedy drama Miss You Already is going through another minor shift as it prepares to kick off filming. Drew Barrymore has jumped aboard to replace Rachel Weisz.
And that’s just the latest alteration, as Weisz had been hired to replace Jennifer Aniston, who was the original pick to star alongside Toni Collette. Now Barrymore, Collette, Dominic Cooper, Paddy Considine and Jacqueline Bisset will appear in the story of two best friends.
The pair – Barrymore and Collette – have been inseparable for years, but hit a difficult patch when Barrymore struggles to have a child and Collette discovers she has breast cancer. Considine and Cooper will be their husbands, while Bisset is aboard as Collette’s mother.
Catherine Hardwicke is starting the cameras rolling this week, taking over from Paul Andrew Williams, who had originally be attached to direct Morwenna Banks’ script. “Miss You Already explores the ups and down of an intense friendship,” Hardwicke says in a statement carried by Variety. “With our fearless actors, we’re taking this very personal story on a wild ride.” Shooting will take place in London and on the Yorkshire Moors for the next few weeks.
