According to The Hollywood Reporter, McAvoy will be starring in a funny film about a serious subject. The yet-untitled project will also star Seth Rogen.
Based on I’m With Cancer, the true story by Will Reiser, the story will follow a young man (McAvoy) who learns that he has cancer at the age of 25.
The film will be directed by Nicole Holofcener, who directed Friends with Money in 2006, and several episodes of Six Feet Under and Sex and the City.
