'THE LAST WORD' DRAMA
STARRING SHIRLEY MACLAINE AND AMANDA SEYFRIED
Meanwhile, Mark Pellington will helm comedy drama THE LAST WORD
starring Shirley MacLaine and Amanda Seyfried. The story will follow a
retired businesswoman named Harriett (Shirley MacLaine) who wants to
control everything around her until the bitter end and decides to write
her own obituary to make sure her life is told the way she wants it to
be. But when Anne (Amanda Seyfried), a young writer at the local
newspaper, is assigned to the task, she refuses to follow the script and
instead insists on finding out the true facts about Harriett’s life.
The pair then set out to uncover the ups and downs of Harriett’s life,
initially as reluctant partners, and what begins as an attempt to shape
her own legacy turns out to be a reawakening of passions for Harriett —
and a life altering friendship for Anne.
