Firth and Midler joining Hunt's film
Colin Firth, Bette Midler and Matthew Broderick are joining the cast of 'Then She Found Me', the directorial debut of the film's star, Helen Hunt.
Based on the Elinor Lipman novel, 'Then She Found Me' tells the story of a schoolteacher (Hunt) who is found by her birth mother (Midler). Broderick will play Hunt's onscreen husband, with Firth playing a man the teacher meets through one of her students.
Variety reports that Oscar winner Hunt has spent eight years working on adapting Lipman's novel for the big screen.
Shooting on the film has just begun in Brooklyn.
