The cast of Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks has expanded by two. Two-time Oscar nominee Jacki Weaver (Silver Linings Playbook, Animal Kingdom) and Julian Sands have signed on to join a cast that includes Gena Rowlands, Cheyenne Jackson, Rita Moreno, Kathleen Rose Perkins, Anthony Zerbe, and Simon Miller.

The movie is based on Richard Alfieri’s popular play. Alfieri adapted the story for the screen and Arthur Allan Seidelman is directing. Filming is currently underway in Budapest, Hungary, with additional locations including St. Petersburg, Florida.

“We’re particularly excited to have Jacki Weaver join the cast as a follow-up to her Oscar-nominated role in Silver Linings Playbook,” stated producer Andras Somkuti. “She, Gena Rowlands, Cheyenne Jackson and Julian Sands reflect the caliber of actors that our casting director Paul Ruddy has reached out to for key roles in the film.”
