Gabriel Macht, Hank Azaria and Oliver Platt have signed on to the romantic comedy "Love and Other Drugs" that Ed Zwick is directing for Fox 2000/New Regency. They join Anne Hathaway, Jake Gyllenhaal, Judy Greer and Josh Gad.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Charles Randolph ("The Interpreter") wrote the script, formerly titled "Pharma," which he adapted from Jamie Reidy's nonfiction book "Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman."
Filming is scheduled to begin at the end of September.
Macht plays a Prozac salesman who's romantically involved with Maggie (Hathaway), a free-spirited woman with Parkinson's disease who enters into a relationship with a Viagra salesman Jamie (Gyllenhaal).
Azaria plays a shady doctor and client of Jamie's, and Platt plays his boss, a weary pharmaceutical rep desperate to boost Jamie's sales.
Zwick and his Bedford Falls partner Marshall Herskovitz ("The Last Samurai," "Legends of the Fall") are producing with Scott Stuber, who developed the project. Randolph and Pieter Jan Brugge are producing.
