Jeff Daniels & Kip Pardue See Imaginary Heroes

Jeff Daniels and Kip Pardue have joined Sigourney Weaver and Emile Hirsch in the indie Imaginary Heroes for director Dan Harris. Production is scheduled to start August 14 in New Jersey.

The darkly comic drama revolves around the secrets and lies of American families. It tells the story of a four-member family and how they deal with the suicide of the eldest son, an accomplished swimmer idolized by the community and his parents as being the "perfect boy" (Pardue). Daniels will star as the father, with Weaver playing the mother and Hirsch the youngest son.

Harris is directing from his own original screenplay.
