Actress-writer Jennifer Westfeldt (
Kissing Jessica Stein) is to write and direct
Ira & Abby: A Divorce Story, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Director Robert Cary ('Anything But Love') will start filming the neurotic screwball comedy, budgeted at around $2.5 million, on Nov. 12 in Manhattan. As the title characters, Westfeldt and Chris Messina ("Road") marry on the spur of the moment, leading to a chain of affairs involving their parents (Frances Conroy, Fred Willard and Robert Klein), exes and therapists.
