(Mamma Mia!, Mean Girls, A Million Ways to Die in the West), Golden Globe winner John Goodman (Transformers: Age of Extinction, The Hangover Part III, Monsters, Inc.), Oscar winner Diane Keaton (Annie Hall, Father of the Bride, The Godfather) and Academy Award winner Alan Arkin (Argo, Little Miss Sunshine, The Muppets). The film will be written and directed by PGA Award winner Jessie Nelson (I Am Sam, Stepmom, Because I Said So).
