Ben Mendelsohn and Edie Falco to Star in Nicole Holofcener’s THE LAND OF STEADY HABITS

Netflix will finance and distribute The Land of Steady Habits, written and directed by Nicole Holofcener (Enough Said, Friends with Money), based on the novel by Ted Thompson. The cast will include Ben Mendelsohn, Edie Falco, and Thomas Mann.

The Land of Steady Habits will likely hit Netflix next year.

Per Deadline:

Holofcener will direct from her own adapted script, which focuses on Anders Hill (Mendelsohn), a man in his mid-fifties who is newly retired. He’s been long ensconced in “the land of steady habits,” – the affluent hamlets of Connecticut that dot the commuter rail line – and is finally ready to reap the rewards of a sensible life.

With his grown son’s (Mann) college tuition paid in full, Anders decides he’s had enough of steady habits. So, he leaves his wife (Falco), buys a condo and waits for the freedom to transform him. Stripped of the comforts of his previous identity, he embarks on a clumsy and heartbreaking journey to reconcile his past with his present.
