A possible side effect of
Tim Robbins' new series? It's got
Ellen Burstyn on its roster.
According to
Variety, the Oscar-winning actress has joined the upcoming Showtime drama,
Possible Side Effects, that explores the inner workings of a family-owned pharmaceutical company.
Burstyn will play the matriarch of the Hunt clan, which presumably includes already-announced stars Josh Lucas and Tim Blake Nelson.
Robbins is writing, directing and executive producing the project, along with Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas and Daniel Thomas.
Now how about we get Susan Sarandon on board too? -
