Last Of The "Nuts" Cracked For Bogdanovich

THR reports Rhys Ifans, Lucy Punch, Ahna O'Reilly and Jake Hoffman have all joined Peter Bogdanovich's show business comedy Squirrels to the Nuts.


Bogdanovich wrote the script about a hooker-turned-Broadway performer (Imogen Poots) and how the two lives intersect. Owen Wilson will play a Broadway director who pays for the young woman's services despite being married to the play's star.

Ifans plays a movie star who is infatuated with the director’s wife (Kathryn Hahn). Punch will play an Eastern European escort, O’Reilly is a reformed escort, and Hoffman cameos as a hotel staff member.

Jennifer Aniston co-stars as a therapist in the movie, which finds Cybill Shepherd and Richard Lewis playing Poots' parents. Will Forte will act as the playwright of the show Wilson is directing. Tatum O'Neal and Bogdanovich are reuniting 40 years after their Oscar-winning collaboration, Paper Moon. O’Neal will make a cameo appearance that is currently under wraps.

Joanna Lumley, Debi Mazar Austin Pendleton and George Morfogen also star.

Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach will produce the pic with Holly Wiersma,

The film is currently shooting in New York.
