Quite possibly, according to The Hollywood Reporter:Tim Robbins will star with Mark Ruffalo in the directorial debut of writer-producer Stuart Blumberg, who was nominated for an Oscar this year for co-writing The Kids Are All Right.
Gilbert Films and Blumberg’s Class 5 Films are producing the comedy, titled Thanks for Sharing, which revolves around characters in a 12-step program for recovering sex addicts in New York City. Filming will begin on the project, written by Blumberg and Matt Winston, in the fall.
Gary Gilbert and Jordan Horowitz are producing for Gilbert Films, which is also financing the picture. William Migliore and David Koplan are producing for Class 5, with partner Edward Norton serving as executive producer.
It’s a reunion for many of the main players. Ruffalo was also nominated for an Academy Award for starring in Kids Are All Right, which Gilbert Films produced as well. And Blumberg wrote and produced Norton’s directorial debut, Keeping the Faith.
“We are delighted to once again be working with Stuart as he makes his directorial debut on this very exciting project,” Gilbert said. “On The Kids Are All Right, he clearly demonstrated an incredible talent for creating exceptional roles while telling original, important and thought-provoking stories.”
