Three Days of Rain Headed to the Big Screen

Variety reports that Three Days of Rain is headed to the big screen, with production to begin in the Spring of 2007. Produced and directed by Deborah Reinisch who has just aquired the film rights, no casting has yet been set for the film, so no word if its starry cast will make the leap to film.

Three Days of Rain began previews at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre on March 28th and opened on April 19th in a 12-week limited engagement through June 18th. Paul Rudd and Bradley Cooper will co-star with Roberts in the play, which is helmed by Tony Award-winner Joe Mantello (Wicked, Assassins).

"Three Days of Rain centers on Walker (Rudd), his sister Nan (Roberts) and their childhood friend Pip (Cooper), who all meet in New York to divide the legacy of their late fathers, who were partners in a renowned architecture firm. In an effort to bring some peace to their own lives, the three search for clues that might explain what had gone on between their fathers, and the women in their lives, decades before. The story then shifts to that earlier time, with the same three actors portraying the previous generation," according to press notes for the play, which was first produced Off-Broadway at Manhattan Theatre Club in 1997. Patricia Clarkson played Roberts' roles.

Three Days of Rain's design team comprises set and costume designer Santo Loquasto, lighting designer Paul Gallo and sound designer David Van Tieghem.
