Oscar-winning actress Marcia Gay Harden has joined the cast of Universal Pictures political satire
American Dreamz, says the Hollywood Reporter.
The feature, helmed by Paul Weitz, will see Harden play the first lady opposite Dennis Quaid's president. Already cast are Hugh Grant, Richard Dreyfuss and Mandy Moore.
"The movie examines the role of dreams and ambitions in American culture," Weitz said. "It's about what's wrong with America and how close it is to what's right with America."
