Deadline Hollywood: Alex Karpovsky Circling Male Lead In ‘Claire’, Opposite Jena Malone

Girls alum Alex Karpovsky is in advanced negotiations to star in Claire, Rilean Pictures’ remake of Éric Rohmer’s 1982 French comedy Le Beau Mariage (“The Good Marriage”). Karpovsky would star opposite Jena Malone in a story centered on an eccentric twentysomething woman living in Long Island with her aunt and teenage cousin. Fed up with her married lover, a painter named Simon, Claire decides to get married herself, deciding upon a man she barely knows (Karpovsky), her best friend Katherine’s cousin. An absurd and humiliating quest to find love and a husband, but not necessarily in that order, follows. The narrative feature debut from director Dori Oskowitz, Claire is written Juan Iglesias and Jonathan Saba. Iglesias and Saba are producing, along with Accelerated Matter’s Matt Leutwyler. MORE...
