Blimey, sex addiction is the new superhero film! All right, so it’s nowhere near that widespread, but the subject is going to be part of another film besides the currently hot Michael Fassbender drama Shame, as Gwyneth Paltrow and Joely Richardson are on board for a new dramatic comedy called Thanks For Sharing.
Mark Ruffalo and Tim Robbins are already in the cast, and the foursome will play unlikely friends linked by their joint determination to recover from their driving need for The Naughty. They’re also trying to forge proper, meaningful relationships in their lives.
Paltrow is on to play Phoebe, who falls in love with Ruffalo, while Richardson will be Katie, who is married to Robbins.
Writer Stuart Blumberg, who nabbed an Oscar nomination for his work on The Kids Are All Right, is stepping up to direct this time, having penned the screenplay with Matt Wilson. He also seems happy with the cast he’s assembling, and why wouldn’t he be? "I couldn't imagine actors more perfect than Gwyneth, Mark, Tim and Joely for this film, and I can't wait to see them bring these characters to life with their unique and formidable talents," said Blumberg in a statement picked up by Variety.
