Searchlight Pictures announced that Seth Rogen has joined the cast of Aziz Ansari’s feature directorial debut ‘Being Mortal.’
Based on Atul Gawande’s non-fiction book ‘Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End’, the book addresses end-of-life care, hospice care, and also contains Gawande’s reflections and personal stories. He suggests that medical care should focus on well-being rather than survival.
