Every
Day Is A Gift For Eddie Izzard by Chris Hewitt | Empire
The
cast of Richard Levine’s marital drama, Every Day, just became officially eclectic,
with the news that Eddie Izzard and Brian Dennehy have signed on to join Carla
Gugino, Helen Hunt and spellcheck nemesis Liev Schreiber. The film, which is also
written by debutante director Levine, is about the strife hitting a married couple
(Schreiber and Hunt) when he’s tempted by Gugino’s minxy co-worker. Dennehy, who’s
Mr. Reliable, will play a character called Ernie, while Izzard will play someone
called Garrett. Not sure how they figure into the plot, though. Sorry.
Still,
our interest is always piqued by the presence of Izzard, whose early attempts
at acting, in the likes of The Avengers and Mystery Men, were pretty awful. Since
then, though, the comic genius has become a fine supporting actor in the likes
of Ocean’s Thirteen and My Super Ex-Girlfriend. He’s yet to find a role tailored
for his unique comic talents, though – we’re guessing that this serious drama
won’t be it.

Eddie Izzard and Brian Dennehy have joined Liev Schreiber,
Helen Hunt and Carla Gugino in "Every Day," the Richard Levine-directed drama
that is shooting in New York. Schreiber and Hunt star as a married couple in turmoil,
and Gugino plays a co-worker who tempts him. Levine, a "Nip/Tuck" vet who's making
his feature directing debut, wrote the script. Miranda Bailey and Matthew Leutwyler
are producing through Ambush Entertainment. Cold Iron Pictures is the sole financier
on the film. Izzard will next be seen in "Valkyrie" and then stars in "The Chronicles
of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader." Dennehy just completed "Miss January"
with Kim Cattrall.
NEW FILM PROJECT?
From
Variety's story on election bashes in NY: "Izzard, who just finished lensing "Every
Day" in Brooklyn the day before, opted to stay in the States for the big day."
