I find this very interesting that Nicole Holofcener is directing an adaptation of a novel, “I am With 
Cancer” by Will Reiser. To date, Holofcener has directed from her own work, so it’s an interesting movie on her part. Reiser wrote the script for the yet-to-be-titled film; Holofcener will start shooting in January. Holofcener’s first independent, Talking and Walking, is a wonderful film where you see Catherine Keener and Anne Heche grow as actors.
In Holofcener’s next project, James McAvoy is set to star with Seth Rogen, who is also producing.
The comedy is about a 25-year-old (McAvoy) who learns he has cancer and successfully battles the disease over several years. The character is based on the real experiences of screenwriter Will Reiser, who won his own fight with cancer in his mid-20s. There is not mention of Rogen’s character in Variety.
