Michelle Pfeiffer, Lucas Hedges, and Tracy Letts will star in the surreal comedy French Exit. Azazel Jacobs will direct the film, which is based on the novel by Patrick DeWitt. Pfeiffer plays Frances Price, a 60-year-old Manhattan socialite, Hedges plays her directionless son Malcolm, and Letts plays the incarnation of her long-deceased husband Franklin - a house cat.
