New Line Cinema has tapped Ron Livingston (OFFICE SPACE) to join Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams in the cast of THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE, according to THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER. Plan B and Nick Wechsler are the producers and Robert Schwentke (FLIGHTPLAN) is the director.
Based on Audrey Niffenegger's novel and adapted by Jeremy Leven and Bruce Joel Rubin, the story follows a librarian (Bana) who has a condition that makes him involuntarily time travel. McAdams plays his wife who must deal with the problem, which threatens their marriage. Livingston will play Bana's best friend, a nonprofit attorney.
Filming is set to begin in September in Toronto.
Richard Brener, Cale Boyter and Michele Weiss are shepherding the project.
