The acting community are going crazy for extra-curricular activity. Another three have signed for Jane Austen Book Club, an adaptation of Karen Joy Fowler's about a group of five women and one man who gather to discuss Austen's work and discover their lives are playing out exactly like one of her novels. And then probably drink Chardonnay and sing power ballads to themselves while wearing cute pyjamas.
Lynn Redgrave, Kathy Baker and Marc Blucas (or Riley as he's known to Buffy fans) join the already cast Maria Bello, Emily Blunt, Jimmy Smits, Amy Brenneman, Hugh Dancy, Maggie Grace and Kevin Zegers. Shooting starts next month.
