We've been hearing much about the upcoming "cancer comedy" starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen for awhile now, most of it while the film was still going under its original title, and most of it centering around casting news. Originally titled I'M WITH CANCER, and originally starring James McAvoy, the film finally has a new title to go with Gordon-Levitt as its star.

The film will now be called LIVE WITH IT, which is fittingly appropriate, considering the film revolves around Gordon-Levitt's character attempting to, well, live with his cancer. Based on the real-life illness of comedy producer Will Reiser, the film follows a twenty-five year old dude who discovers he has a rare type of cancer. Instead of giving in and over to the disease, the film's protagonist and his cadre of friends and family take on his cure and healing, with unexpected humor.

Rogen will be playing Gordon-Levitt's best friend. The film is helmed by Jonathan Levine (THE WACKNESS). The cast of LIVE WITH IT is rounded out with some other stand-out talents, including Bryce Dallas Howard, Anjelica Huston, Philip Baker Hall, and Anna Kendrick.
