Judy Greer to make directorial debut with Common, Allison Janney dramedy

Actress Judy Greer is about to make her first feature film as director. The project will star Common and Allison Janney and, hopefully, Greer finds a role for herself.

The film is titled A Happening of Monumental Proportions and was written by Gary Lundy, reports Entertainment Weekly. The script, which mixes sex and lies with dead bodies, was a finalist at the Sundance Writer’s Lab. It is set during a single day in Los Angeles.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the producers are Chris Weitz, Paul Weitz and Andrew Miano of Depth of Field and David Gardner of Principato-Young.

Greer’s only previous directing experience is an AOL short film on transcendental meditation, but considering the directors she has worked with, she’s probably picked up a couple of ideas. She is currently working on War for the Planet of the Apes.

For fans of Greer, this was a weird year. While it was great to see her in Jurassic World, Ant-Man, Tomorrowland and Entourage, she only had small roles in all of them. On top of that, her FX comedy Married was just cancelled after two seasons.
