I Don't Know How She Does It is the upcoming Douglas McGrath‘s adaptation of the 2002 best-selling novel by Allison Pearson, and we're here today for a little update.
As you already guess, it's all about the cast in this one, so let's start with the news.
Greg Kinnear and Jane Curtin have joined the cast that already includes Sarah Jessica Parker, Pierce Brosnan, Kelsey Grammar, Christina Hendricks, Olivia Munn and Seth Meyers.
In addition to that, let us mention that Kinnear will play the husband of the film's protag, a working mom (Parker) juggling a busy professional and personal life, while Curtin has been cast as Kinnear's mother.
McGrath directs the whole thing from a script by Aline Brosh McKenna (The Devil Wears Prada), and it's not such a surprise, since you probably remember him from titles like “Emma” and “Infamous”.
Check out the I Don't Know How She Does It synopsis part once again:
“Meet Kate Reddy, hedge-fund manager and mother of two. She can juggle nine different currencies in five different time zones and get herself and two children washed and dressed and out of the house in half an hour.
In Kate's life, Everything Goes Perfectly as long as Everything Goes Perfectly. She lies to her own mother about how much time she spends with her kids; practices pelvic floor squeezes in the boardroom; applies tips from Toddler Taming to soothe her irascible boss; uses her cell phone in the office bathroom to procure a hamster for her daughter's birthday; and cries into the laundry hamper when she misses her children's bedtime.”
The Weinstein Company is set to release I Don't Know How She Does It in spring 2012
We hope you like McGrath's decision, let us know.
