CHATHAM (FILM)

A romantic comedy, set on Cape Cod in 1905, about three 70-year-old retired sea captains who try to lure an attractive middle-aged woman into marriage. The film is an adaptation of the Joseph Lincoln novel ''Cap’n Eri'' and is expected to be released in 2008.
'Chatham' is to be directed by Daniel Adams and is starring Mariel Hemingway, Christy Scott Cashman, Charles Durning, Rip Torn, Bruce Dern, David Carradine and introducing Stephen Russell, a popular voice actor known for his work on the ''Thief'' series. The cast also includes singer/songwriter Jonathan Edwards, who makes an appearance as Reverend Perley. He recently completed filming his role and is writing the music and scoring the film.
Peter Boyle was to appear in this film but died on December 12, 2006 at the age of 71.
Two of Norman Mailer's sons are attached to the film which seems very appropriate as this film revolves around Cape Cod. Michael Mailer is the producer of the film and his younger brother Stephen Mailer plays one of the two local ne'er-do-wells along with actor Donald Foley.
According to the Boston Herald filming has begun on location in Osterville, Massachusetts as of March 19, 2007. Other locations will include Strong Island in Pleasant Bay, West Barnstable, Chatham, and Provincetown.
