Tina Fey and Jason Bateman Get the Family Together in 'This Is Where I Leave You' Poster
I'm not familiar with the book that This Is Where I Leave You is based on, but if the cast is any sign, the movie adaption should be worth our time. Based on the Amazon description of the book itself, the story sounds interesting too.
The death of Judd Foxman's father marks the first time that the entire Foxman clan has congregated in years. There is, however, one conspicuous absence: Judd's wife, Jen, whose affair with his radio- shock-jock boss has recently become painfully public. Simultaneously mourning the demise of his father and his marriage, Judd joins his dysfunctional family as they reluctantly sit shiva-and spend seven days and nights under the same roof. The week quickly spins out of control as longstanding grudges resurface, secrets are revealed and old passions are reawakened. Then Jen delivers the clincher: she's pregnant.
Jason Bateman plays Judd Altman (the family's last name was changed for the movie), with Abigail Spencer playing Jen. The rest of the cast is filled out with Tina Fey, Corey Stoll, Adam Driver, Jane Fonda, Connie Britton, Rose Byrne, Dax Shepard and Timothy Olyphant. You can check out pretty much the entire cast in the new poster for the movie that Warner Bros. released on Thursday. (I think they may have Photoshopped some heads on some bodies ...)
This Is Where I Leave You opens on Sept. 19.
