Reiser finds Young@Heart

Television producer Will Reiser is in talks with Working Title Films with writing the feature called Young@Heart. There was originally a documentary of the same name that was under Fox Searchlight in 2007, deeming this project as yet another remake. THR has more on this story:

Stephen Walker’s original “Heart” tells the story of a group of Northampton, Mass., seniors who, under the tutelage of a younger choir director, sing versions of songs from artists such as The Clash, Coldplay and James Brown. In addition to reveling in the comedy of seniors performing blues and punk numbers, it also focuses on the lives of the performers, several of whom passed away during the course of production.

Reiser is currently in the middle of production of Cancer, a comedy directed by Nicole Holofcener that stars James McAvoy and Seth Rogen. It tells the tale of a 25 year old’s comedic rendition of his diagnosis and battle with cancer that’s set to come out sometime next year.
