EVERY DAY: Liev
Schreiber and Helen Hunt play a married couple in turmoil as he plods along as
the unsatisfied writer of a semi-pornographic TV show. Carla Gugino play a sexy
colleague who propositions him, creating a crisis that strains his marriage to
the breaking point. IMDB lists Eddie as playing "Garrett".
IMDB 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. Izzard, Dennehy join 'Every Day'
Duo added to Richard Levine-directed drama By MICHAEL FLEMING |
Variety 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,

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."
(thanks Annette) HUGE:
Synoposis: Warren and Clark meet when Clark heckles Warren on stage
in a crowded comedy club. Their improvised banter goes down a storm, and Warren
becomes convinced that destiny has spoken: Warren and Clark are meant to be the
biggest comedy double act of all time. There's only one slight problem: they are
terrible and can't get a gig. As their frustration mounts, and their efforts to
get noticed become increasingly desperate, their bosom-buddy friendship begins
to curdle into bitter rivalry. In a world that wants to deny their destiny, Warren
and Clark must find a way to stick together if they are to have a chance of making
it huge. IMDB Eddie
makes a special appearance in the film along with other British standups.
THE
GREEN ROOM WITH PAUL PROVENZA: Synoposis: Hosted and executive
produced by noted comedian Paul Provenza, the director and co-producer of the
behind-the-scenes comedy documentary “The Aristocrats,” THE GREEN ROOM WITH PAUL
PROVENZA (tentative title) is a six-episode, half-hour series offering viewers
an opportunity of a lifetime: to witness the hilarious exchanges between comic
legends who span several generations and, for some, are meeting their own comedy
idols for the first time in a spontaneous, uncensored roundtable format. Filmed
in front of a live audience, they share personal anecdotes, intimate thoughts
and tackle a wide variety of hot topics, ranging from the state of comedy today
to politics to racism to personal life lessons – all with the fearless honesty
and lightning-quick, outrageous humor that – until now – only happens when comedians
get together in private and the rules don’t apply.
