With principle set pieces of the dramedy already secured in Rogen, McAvoy, Kendrick and Dallas Howard, Variety reports that we now we have vets Anjelica Huston and Philip Baker Hall filling out the secondary roles in Jonathan Levine’s (please don’t re-title it) I’m With Cancer.

A 2008 BlackList mentioned screenplay, and a Top 100 Most Anticipated film for 2010 on this site, based on the autobiographical spec written by Reiser, this is his personal account of his struggle to beat cancer, with the story centering on a 25-year-old (McAvoy) who finds out he has the disease. Anna Kendrick will play a psychologist assigned to a young man who learns he has cancer.
