Meryl Streep, Lindsay Lohan, Woody Harrelson, John C. Reilly, Lily Tomlin and Maya Rudolph have all signed up to star in A Prairie Home Companion, a spin-off from Garrison Keillor's U.S. radio show.
Variety reports Robert Altman is directing from Keillor's script with filming set to begin this summer in Minneapolis.
The film will follow the ensemble of performers and back-stage crew as they prepare for the final live broadcast. Passions rise as the stage manager tries to keep the show on the road while a menacing stranger waits in the wings. Streep and Tomlin will play sisters and Lohan an innocent actress.
Kiellor will also star and Kevin Kline is said to be considering a role.
