Winslet and Keener to Reteam with Black and Carell in ‘Frank or Francis’

Frank or Francis Cast Members

Kate Winslet and Catherine Keener, both of whom earned Oscar nominations in previous films written by Charlie Kaufman, have joined the cast of Kaufman’s next project, Frank or Francis. According to Vulture, the duo will join a cast that includes Jack Black and Steve Carell, their former costars of The Holiday and The 40 Year-Old Virgin. Other cast members include Nicholas Cage and Kevin Kline.

Winslet earned an Oscar nomination for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Keener was nominated for Being John Malkovich. Both films were written by Kaufman who is now writing and directing his own films. Frank or Francis is described as “a very meta musical comedy about a director (Carell) who becomes obsessed with the message board commenter (Black) disparaging his movies on a Hollywood website.” There are no details on the roles for Winslet and Keener, including whether they will play opposite the same love interests as their previous roles.
