Matthew Broderick is set to star in
Finding Amanda, says Production Weekly.
The feature, which will mark the directorial debut of Peter Tolan, will see Broderick play a TV producer currently trying to reconstruct his dismal career. A recovering alcoholic and drug addict, he’s famous for throwing up at the Emmys and losing $150,000 at the track in one day.
He sent by his wife on a mission to Las Vegas to convince their young niece Amanda, who is now making her living as a stripper and hooker, to enter rehab. But once in Vegas, Broderick’s uncontrollable old compulsions reassert themselves with a vengeance.
The project, which is based on a script by Tolan, begins shooting early January in Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
