NEW YORK -- Sissy Spacek is moving into director Michael Mayer's A Home at the End of the World, the big-screen adaptation of the novel by The Hours author Michael Cunningham. Spacek joins Colin Farrell, Robin Wright Penn and newcomer Dallas Roberts in the story of boyhood friends Bobby and Jonathan, who become enmeshed in an emotional love triangle with a woman they move in with in New York. Spacek will play Jonathan's mother, Alice, who provides the HIV-positive Bobby (Farrell) a safe haven even as her own marriage is failing. The film begins shooting next week in Toronto, with locations also planned in New York and Phoenix. Adapted by Keith Bunin and Cunningham, Home is being produced by Plymouth Projects' Tom Hulce, Killer Films' Christine Vachon and Pam Koffler and Hart Sharp's John Hart and Jeff Sharp. Spacek is repped by CAA. Working with New York vets Killer and Hart Sharp, the Plymouth banner -- which Hulce recently launched with producer Julia Rask -- is making its first feature with Home. The company's first theater project, Alan Bennett's Talking Heads, is set to open off-Broadway on Sunday at the Minetta Lane Theatre. Heads stars Lynn Redgrave, Kathleen Chalfant, Christine Ebersole, Daniel Davis, Valerie Mahaffey and Brenda Wehle.
