Virginia Madsen and Kenan Thompson are close to joining Morgan Freeman in the cast of Rob Reiner's drama "Summer at Dog Dave's."
According to Variety, the film was formerly known as "The Third Act."
Alan Greisman, Lori McCreary, David Valdes and Salli Newman are producing.
Guy Thomas wrote the script along with Reiner and Andrew Scheinman.
The story focuses on a once famous, wheelchair-bound writer of Western novels (Freeman) trying to rediscover his talent in a small rural town after years of alcoholism have hardened him.
In the process, he becomes involved in the lives of three daughters and their mother (Madsen), who is going through a divorce.
Annette Bening had been in talks to play the female lead but no deal was ever finalized.
Production begins this July in Greenwood Lake, NY.
Madsen was recently in "Red Riding Hood."
Thompson has been a cast member on "Saturday Night Live" since 2003.
