Hines to direct SERIOUS MOONLIGHT
Curb Your Enthusiasm's Cheryl Hines will make her directorial bow with Adrienne Shelly's Serious Moonlight.
Curb Your Enthusiasm, will step behind the camera to direct Serious Moonlight. Moonlight revolves around a hotshot female lawyer who discovers her husband is about to leave her, to prevent this she duct tapes him to the toilet. If this sounds a bit offbeat and quirky then that's because the script comes from Adrienne Shelly. Shelly wrote and directed Waitress, Fox Searchlight's big indie hit from this summer. Shelly was tragically murdered almost a year ago in her New York apartment and never got to see the great commercial and critical acclaim Waitress achieved.
"I feel a great sense of pride to be directing this film," said Hines. "I had such respect for Adrienne and the work she did. And I love her writing so much. That tone is really in my wheelhouse."Andy Ostroy, Shelly's husband, will produce the picture with the aim of bringing back together the Waitress team.
"I felt compelled to continue her work for her after her death," Ostroy said. "I think she was just hitting her stride with 'Waitress.' I tried to put together a team that was part of the Waitress family to re-create the vibe and the success of that film and honour Adrienne and get her work out there with a group of people who really cared about her and (understood) her spirit and vision."source - variety
