Nicole Holofcener has signed to write and direct a movie about a group of New York women who live in the same apartment building, with Catherine Keener in final negotiations to play the main character.
The movie, still-untitled, will center on a set of neighbors in the New York building, including a woman (Keener) who lives next door to a cantankerous elderly woman. It explores the interactions between Keener's character, who owns the woman's apartment, the woman and her two granddaughters, in what's described as an examination of "life, death and real estate."
