James (“The Book of Mormon”), Jeffery Self (“Search Party”) and Bill Irwin (“Rachel Getting Married”) have all joined the project directed by Michael Showalter.Having just wrapped principal photography in New York, the film is based on Michael Ausiello’s bestselling memoir “Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Other Four-Letter Words.” It charts the emotionally turbulent 11-month journey of Ausiello’s former partner Kit, from his diagnosis with terminal cancer to his death.

James, who appears in the Apple original “Severance” and on Amazon’s “Modern Love,” is represented by Liebman Entertainment.Self, who broke out on the buzzy HBO Max dramedy “Search Party” and has appeared on “30 Rock” and in the Focus film “The High Note,” is represented by Avalon Management and Schreck Rose Dapello
