Radcliffe, Kazan to Star in Indie Comedy THE F WORD

Variety reports that Daniel Radcliffe and Zoe Kazan will star in the indie romantic comedy THE F WORD from No Trace Camping. The "f" in the title refers to the "friend" zone. Michael Dowse will direct the film with a script from Elan Mastai. David Gross, Jesse Shapira, Marc Stephenson and Hartley Gorenstein will produce with Dowse and Jeff Arkuss executive producing.

THE F WORD will follow Radcliffe's character as he attempts to be the "first male to have a successfully platonic relationship with a girl he likes (Kazan), only to find out she's already in a relationship." The film is based on the play "Toothpaste and Cigars" by T.J. Dawe and Michael Rinaldi. Production is set to begin August 15 in Toronto.
