Josh Lucas Cast In Possible Side Effects

Josh Lucas has been cast to star in Possible Side Effects, the Tim Robbins’ drama pilot for Showtime says The Hollywood Reporter. The project, which Robbins wrote and will direct, centers on the Hunts, a dysfunctional family running a pharmaceutical company. It examines the political, scientific and bureaucratic machinery that makes up the drug industry. Lucas will play Max Hunt, who tries to keep the business and the family together in the face of controversy.

The casting of Lucas comes almost a year after Showtime greenlighted the pilot. Robbins is executive producing with Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas and Daniel Thomas.
