Broderick & Jessica Parker Are 'Strangers With Candy'

[Tuesday, March 16th, 2004]
Real life couple Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker are set to star in Strangers With Candy the feature film based on the Comedy Central series, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Their attachment comes as a result of a close friendship with Amy Sedaris, the co-creator and star of the cult series. There is no formal deal for Broderick and Parker, and it is still unclear what characters they will be playing.

Filming of the project is set to start in June in New York City. The show starred Sedaris alongside fellow co-creators Paul Dinello and Stephen Colbert and aired for three seasons on Comedy Central beginning in 1999. It is a dark satire of moralistic afterschool specials starring Sedaris as Jerri, a frumpy and unattractive outcast who returned to high school after 30 years of hard living on the streets and in prison. However, the rough times don't end at school as, while trying to shed her immoral past, she's forced to mix and mingle with kids who are hipper, more beautiful and more popular than she is.
