A spoonful of sugar sure does make the medicine go down.
Josh Lucas (
Sweet Home Alabama) has been signed to star in the new
Tim Robbins project
Possible Side Effects. The Showtime drama, which will be shot in New York, revolves around three brothers with a family-run pharmaceutical company.
Robbins, who will serve as writer, director and executive producer of the show, "will not be appearing in the pilot," according to a Showtime press release. Which begs the question: Will Susan Sarandon's main squeeze be adding "actor" to his list of
Side Effects credits? —
