Broadway veterans Alec Baldwin, Timothy Hutton, and Cynthia Nixon will be part of the cast of the film Lymelife, according to Variety. Written and directed by Derick and Steven Martin, the film will also star Kieran Culkin, Rory Culkin, Jill Hennessy and Emma Roberts.

The film, set in the late 1970s in Long Island, is described as a coming-of-age story that follows two families who fall apart because of precarious relationships, real estate problems, and Lyme disease.

Baldwin, who starred on Broadway in revivals of A Streetcar Named Desire and Twentieth Century, is currently starring on the NBC series 30 Rock. Hutton, who starred in the original Broadway production of Prelude to a Kiss, is best known for his Oscar-winning work in the film Ordinary People. Nixon, who won the Tony Award for Best Actress in Rabbit Hole, will soon be seen in the film version of her hit television series Sex and the City.
