Alexie Gilmore and Robin Williams Join World's Greatest Dad

Alexie Gilmore and Robin Williams have signed on to star in the indie feature World's Greatest Dad.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Williams will play Lance, a high school poetry teacher who copes with his son's death from a freak masturbation accident by faking a suicide note to spare the family shame. The note, published without his permission, ends up becoming a sensation, and Lance reignites his writing career by penning a personal journal he claims was written by his son (Daryl Sabara).

Gilmore plays Claire, a teacher who has an affair with Lance.

Bob Goldthwait penned the script and is directing the project, which began filming Tuesday in Seattle.
