Keir Gilchrist in Funny Story
Keir Gilchrist will star in It’s Kind of a Funny Story.
The movie, based on Ned Vizzini’s 2006 novel, centers on a 16-year-old who, stressed out from the demands of being a teenager, checks himself into a mental health clinic. He learns that the youth ward is closed and finds himself stuck in the adult ward. Gilchrist joins a cast that includes Zach Galifianakis, Emma Roberts, Viola Davis, Zoe Kravitz, Aasif Mandavi, Lauren Graham and Jim Gaffigan. The project is from writer-directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, the duo behind Half Nelson starring Ryan Gosling. Shooting begins in New York in early December.
Gilchrist is best known for his role on TV’s “United States of Tara” starring Toni Collette.
