Toni Collette, Anna Faris, and Thomas Haden Church Set to Star in New Comedy THE ESTATE — GeekTyrant

Toni Collette, Anna Faris, and Thomas Haden Church are set to star in a new comedy film titled The Estate. The story centers on two sisters who try to re-ingratiate themselves with their wealthy, estranged aunt when they discover she is ill.

The movie is being developed by writer and director Dean Craig, who previously brought us films such as Death at a Funeral, Love Wedding Repeat, and more.

In the film, “two sisters, Macey (Collette) and Savanna (Faris), see their Aunt Hilda’s terminal illness as an opportunity to get her inheritance and rescue their dying café. To that end, they 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 an eye on the fortune. Their cousins Beatrice and Richard (Church) have come with the same plan. Soon, it becomes a battle amongst the eclectic family as to who can impress the matriarch the most and come out on top.”

Producer Marc Goldberg said in a statement, “Dean’s knack for farce is one of a kind. We look forward to bringing this comedy to life and working with this extraordinary group of talent; Toni, Anna and Thomas couldn’t be more perfectly cast.”

Sarah Jessica Parker is also a producer on the film, and this could turn out to be a fun flick, especially with a cast like Collette, Faris, and Church.
