Elisabeth Moss, Mark Duplass and Ted Danson are all well known for their TV work, starring in Mad Men, The League and CSI (and many, many others), respectively, but now the three of them are set to join together for a feature effort. The three actors have all been cast in The One I Love, a new romantic indie directed by Charlie McDowell. Deadline says that Duplass and Moss will be playing a young married couple experiencing problems. To help talk about their issues and try to solve them, they go to see a therapist, the character played by Danson. The film will be McDowell's directorial debut and he will be working from a script written by newcomer Justin Lader.

Deadline reports that Elisabeth Moss, Mark Duplass, and Ted Danson have signed on to star in The One I Love. Moss and Duplass will play a young couple (we can totally see it), and Danson their marriage counselor. It will be the directorial debut of Charlie McDowell, who, beyond being Rooney Mara's boyfriend, is also Malcolm McDowell and Mary Steenburgen's son, and thus Danson's stepson. He is also known for his "Dear Girls Above Me" tweets, which are being turned into a book. Not sure if this qualifies him, but, regardless, with that cast it might be hard for him to mess it up.
