I’d never join a film that would have a guy like me for a lead character.
That’s something Groucho Marx might have said about “Raised Eyebrows,” a film about the legendary comic’s later years, which is solidifying its financing ahead of the Cannes Film Market.
Oscar, Emmy, and Tony-winner Geoffrey Rush will play Groucho (born Julius) Marx toward the end of his life, in the 1970s, when he staged something of a comeback as a cranky octogenarian. Powerhouse indie producer Owen Moverman will direct the film, and has co-written it with Steve Stoliar, upon whose memoir the book is based.
Stoliar, a writer-producer (credits include episodes of “Wkrp in Cincinnati”!) came into Groucho’s orbit as a young man, and will be played by Charlie Plummer. Sienna Miller has been cast as Groucho’s young personal manager Erin Fleming who brought the increasingly frail Vaudeville and Hollywood legend back into the spotlight,...

Exclusive: Ahead of the Cannes market, Bankside Films has picked up international rights to Oren Moverman project Raised Eyebrows.
As previously announced, Geoffrey Rush (The King’s Speech), Sienna Miller (21 Bridges) and Charlie Plummer (Moonfall) are set to star in the 1970s-set feature about comedy icon Groucho Marx’s final years.
The movie will follow Steve (Plummer) as he enters the world of aging comedian Marx (Rush) for his dream job, under the watchful eye of Erin Fleming (Miller) — a younger woman who had taken over Groucho’s personal and professional life. The ensuing generational power struggle results in a Grouchian comedy of horrors.
The Messenger and Rampart filmmaker Moverman directs from a script he cowrote with Steve Stoliar, based on his memoir Raised Eyebrows: My Years Inside Groucho’s House.
Bankside will be discussing the project with buyers at the upcoming Cannes Market. ICM Partners and CAA Media Finance are handling domestic rights.
