Adapted from the 2013 novel A Taxonomy of Barnacles by Galt Niederhoffer and the first narrative feature from Garbus (Bobby Fischer Against the World, Love, Marilyn), the film will see Holmes, Wood and Mamet play three sisters living together in an enormous New York apartment.
Rickman — whose directorial debut, A Little Chaos, premiered last year in Toronto — will play their natural-history-obsessed father. Production is set to start this spring.
Niederhoffer will produce alongside Amy Hobby for Tangerine Entertainment, with Goldcrest’s Nick Quested and Pascal Degove executive producing.
