Jane Alexander (“Kramer vs. Kramer,” “All the President’s Men,” “Severance”), a four-time Academy Award nominee and two-time Primetime Emmy Award winner, is set to star in “Lillian, Next Door. The film begins production this month in Nova Scotia under the direction of SXSW Audience Award-winning director Janice Engel (“Raise Hell: The Life & Times of Molly Ivins”).

Alexander will star opposite Marco Pigossi (“You’re Dating a Narcissist,” “Bone Lake”) and Kanoa Goo (“I Was a Simple Man,” “The Rookie”) in what is described as an “emotionally layered” drama-comedy that centers on an ex-CIA operative with a sly wit who infiltrates the lives of two gay men who move in next door. As secrets unfold, the layers of truth lead to an unexpected friendship and life-altering choices.
