EXCLUSIVE: Jane Fonda is in negotiations to join Tina Fey and Jason Bateman in This Is Where I Leave You. The two-time Oscar winner will play the newly widowed Hillary Foxman in the adaptation of Jonathan Tropper’s comic 2009 novel. The book focuses on a dysfunctional family reunited for a very tense week to mourn the death of their patriarch. Bateman and Fey play two of the four Foxman children in the film. Shawn Levy is directing This Is Where I Leave You with Tropper writing the screenplay. Levy and Paula Weinstein are producing the Warner Bros distributed film, which is looking at a late spring shooting start in New York. As well as a recurring role on HBO’s The Newsroom as network corporate owner Leona Lansing, Fonda will soon be seen playing Nancy Reagan in the upcoming Lee Daniels-directed White House saga The Butler. Jane Fonda is repped by CAA and Untitled Entertainment.

This would be perfect
It sounds like a funny take on August : Osage County.
Hm, I liked it better when the mom was going to be played by Goldie.
Whatever happened to Jane’s ABC pilot? I heard it was a great script. How did it not get ordered?
Enough wit Tina Fey. She’s worn out her welcome.
Right-wing “Hanoi Jane” comments in 5…4…3…2…
100 years ago. right. ridiculous comment, my opinion.
Fans of the novel (like me!) would probably agree that Goldie Hawn would have been all wrong for the matriarch role. The entire initial casting for the movie (except for Jason Bateman) felt all wrong. With Bateman, Tina Fey, Corey Stoll and now Jane Fonda on board, it looks like this movie has the perfect cast that best resembles the characters in the book.
Totally disagree. I think Goldie Hawn would have been great. I’m fine with Jane Fonda as the mother. But Leslie Mann would have been a MUCH better Wendy than Tina Fey and I’m really disappointed to see her name dropped from the cast list. I’m guessing Kathryn Hahn is in talks to be Alice?? And Ari Graynor…. Judd’s old girlfriend (can’t remember her name). Looks like Malin Akerman isn’t on the list for Jen anymore either, which is disappointing.
I am not sure why she is getting all these good jobs etc. Do we
forget Vietnam “Hanoi Jane” and what she did to our soilders. As far as I am concerned she is a war criminal and should be punished,
and for her to play Nancy Reagan is a disgrace, what are you thinking.
Love to see her regardless what she is on
