Thomas Haden Church will star alongside Paul Giamatti in Fox Searchlight's comedy Sideways for director Alexander Payne. Virginia Madsen is also in final talks to come on board as the female lead, with shooting slated to begin in September in California's Santa Ynez Valley.
Based on the upcoming novel by Rex Pickett, the film is about a man (Giamatti) who is about to get married and decides to take a road trip with his best friend (Church) up to vineyard country for one last blowout. During that week, the duo get into trouble with wine and women -- played by Madsen and Sandra Oh -- and come to some profound realizations in their pre-midlife crises.
Payne and Jim Taylor adapted the screenplay.
