Mar 4 2008Baldwin, Roberts, Deer Ticks Join 'Lymelife'
To those constantly complaining about the dearth of original ideas coming from Hollywood (myself included), some hope has arrived in the indie dramedy Lymelife. Alec Baldwin and Emma Roberts have signed on to the Martini brothers' period film about growing up, relationships, real estate, and, of course, Lyme disease:
Set in late '70s Long Island, the coming-of-age story follows two families who fall apart when precarious relationships, real estate problems and Lyme disease converge in the heart of suburbia. The Martini brothers also penned the screenplay.
If, like me, you glanced at the headline and prayed this was an adaptation of the Rush song "Limelight", I'm sorry. I guess we'll have to wait a little longer before learning the real relation, the underlying theme.
