Jerry Lewis will star in the independent drama "Max Rose" for Lightstream Pictures. It marks his first leading role in over 25 years.
Lightstream is headed by producer Lawrence Inglee and co-founder Paul Currie. Inglee is a former executive with Mark Gordon with producing credits including "The Day After Tomorrow."
"Max Rose" tells the story of a widower who revisits key moments in his life to unlock the mysteries of his marriage and family.
According to Variety, the film will be directed by Daniel Noah from his own script, and is set to go into production in Los Angeles this fall.
In Variety, Lewis stated: "We're going to show an old man who is driven by love and optimism, and by his love for his young daughter."
Lewis last headlined a film in Martin Scorsese's 1983 film, "The King of Comedy," alongside Robert DeNiro. Lewis had supporting roles in 1994's "Arizona Dream" with Johnny Depp and 1995's "Funny Bones."
