Beauty School : Toni Collette-Led Comedy Pic The Estate Adds Kathleen Turner & More

According to Variety, Golden Globe winner Kathleen Turner, Rosemarie DeWitt (Rachel Getting Married), and Keyla Monterroso (Curb Your Enthusiasm) have been cast in Signature Films’ forthcoming comedy film The Estate. The project reunites DeWitt with Toni Collette after starring together in Showtime’s United States of Tara, which ran on-air for three seasons from 2009 to 2011.

They will officially be joining previously announced leads Oscar nominee Toni Collette (Knives Out) and Anna Faris (The House Bunny, Scary Movie films) along with Thomas Haden Church (Sideways). Production is expected to begin in February in New Orleans.

“The film revolves around two sisters, Macey (Collette) and Savanna (Faris), who learn their wealthy but estranged Aunt Hilda is terminally ill,” reads the synopsis. “Seeing this as an opportunity to get her inheritance and rescue their dying café, the sisters plan to improve their bitter relationship and cater to Hilda’s needs. Arriving to Aunt Hilda’s extravagant estate, they find that they are not the only ones in the family with shifted morals. Their cousins Beatrice and Richard (Church) have come with the same plan to swoon Hilda into giving them her estate. Soon, it becomes a battle amongst the eclectic family as to who can impress the matriarch the most and come out on top.”

The Estate will be directed by Dean Craig (Death at a Funeral), with Signature Films and Capstone Global financing the project. It is being produced by Sarah Jessica Parker for Pretty Matches, Signature’s Marc Goldberg and Sarah Gabriel along with Pretty Matches’ Alison Benson. Executive producers are Capstone Global’s Christian Mercuri & David Haring, and Thruline’s Josh Kesselman.
