Chris Klein and Freddie Prinze Jr. will star and Jamie-Lynn Sigler is in final negotiations to co-star in
New York City Serenade, says the Hollywood Reporter.
The movie is loosely inspired by a bittersweet period in the life of actor-filmmaker Frank Whaley, who wrote and is directing.
The Manhattan-based comedy is set in the mid-1990s and revolves around two close friends who realize that sometimes to keep a friend you have to grow up and grow apart. Prinze plays Owen, an aspiring filmmaker suffering in a job at the neighborhood photomat. The one good thing he has going in his life is his relationship with his fiancee, Lynn (Sigler).
Owen's childhood friend Ray (Klein) is a drummer, ex-husband and father who plays the dive bar circuit, often for drunken crowds prone to violence.
