United States Of Tara Still Looking Good

As weeks pass and the pilot of United States of Tara gets closer and closer to beginning filming (in the middle of this month, in fact), more and more names are signing on to the production. We’ve already got Toni Collette in the title role of Tara, a housewife suffering from multiple personality disorder, and John Corbett signed on to play her husband struggling to understand the changes she’s going through. Now we’ve also been given their two children, played by Portia Doubleday and Keir Gilchrist.
And if the show should make it past pilot to series? Friends veteran Alexa Junge has already been confirmed as executive producer. It would seem this show is all but sold as a series to Showtime, and with a cast and crew such as they’ve got, I can’t imagine it won’t make it past pilot stage. Don’t forget Diablo Cody (of Juno fame) wrote the pilot, and is already writing episodes “in case� it gets picked up! I’m betting this will be a new show in 2009 almost certainly!
