Alec Baldwin Gets Lyme Disease

If you're like me, you probably think there haven’t been enough independent

comedies about Lyme disease. I can only think of 10 or 15 off the top of my

head. Alec Baldwin agrees with us and is going to produce and star in the

movie, Lymelife, about what happens when deer ticks go bad.

Actually, according to Variety, Lymelife is about more than Lyme disease. It

is described as a “dramedy” set in Long Island suburbia in the 1970’s. The

Lyme disease combines with relationship and real estate problems to come

between two families. Baldwin will be joined in the cast by Emma

(recently of Drew), Nixon, Rory Culkin, Kieran Culkin, Jill

Hennessy and Hutton. I liked this movie better when it was called

The Ice Storm. Hopefully we will not be subjected to another key party.

The co-writers and directors of Lymelife are Derick and i. I

have never heard of them, but they wrote and starred in an indie film called

Smiling Fish and Goat on Fire about eight or nine years ago. They also have

a few other scripts in development. This will be their first directing

experience. Hopefully they are ready, since filming will begin in New Jersey

next week.
