Lisa Genova’s novel Still Alice, about a college professor who faces the early onset of Alzheimer’s disease, is currently in development and will begin shooting in New York mid-February. The American Film Market has just announced this morning that Julianne Moore, the Oscar nominated actress of “The Hours,” and “The End of the Affair,” will appear in the film as the title character. Still Alice spent 40 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, and has been translated into over 25 languages. Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland, the duo that also wrote and directed “The Last Robin Hood,” and “Quinceanera” are on board to direct the adaptation.
