Burrows Thinks "Love Is Strange"

Darren Burrows ("Forty Shades Of Blue") has joined the cast of the Ira Sachs-directed indie drama "Love Is Strange" says Deadline.


Much like his acclaimed semi-autobiographical drama "Keep the Lights On," the story explores the romantic ups and downs of a gay relationship--except that "Strange" deals with an older, married couple (John Lithgow taking over for Michael Gambon and Alfred Molina). The pair play longtime partners forced to live separately after their New York City wedding.

Marisa Tomei (replaces a once attached Kelly Reilly) and Burrows (replacing Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tracy Letts) play a married Park Slope couple whose relationship is turned upside down when their elderly uncle (Lithgow) is forced to move in with them. Meantime Jorge (Molina) moves in with Ted (Cheyenne Jackson) and his partner Nahlin, who are both police officers

Sachs and his 'Lights' co-writer Mauricio Zacharias wrote the script.

Sachs, Lucas Joaquin, Lars Knudsen and Jay Van Hoy will produce.

The film is currently in production in New York City.
