Eric McCormack has signed up to star in the upcoming indie drama The Architect.
The former Will & Grace star will play one of the lead roles in the project, which is produced by Metallica's Lars Ulrich.
McCormack will play Colin, who along with wife Drew (Parker Posey) collaborates with a modern architect Miles Moss (James Frain) to build their new home.
However, the couple do not realise that Moss is actually building his dream house rather than theirs.
Catherine di Napoli and Jonathan Parker have written the film, with Parker directing.
Filming for the project will begin next month in Washington.
McCormack currently stars in TNT's Perception, which will return for a third season in 2014.

Chicago – One of the great overlooked films of 2009 was the slyly titled “(Untitled).” Jonathan Parker, the writer/director of the film, fashions a sharp yet human tale about the world of art galleries and the next-big-thing. The (Untitled) DVD and Blu-Ray is being released on September 21st, 2010.
(Untitled) is a take-off on the ubiquitous name that artists give their works when mere descriptive words are not enough. The film features Adam Goldberg, Eton Bailey and Marley Shelton as an unusual triangle of artists and art representatives. Shelton plays gallery owner Madeleine, whose life’s purpose is to find the next cutting-edge artist. Goldberg and Bailey play brothers, one a successful hotel lobby artist, the other a struggling composer of atonal symphonies. Their interplay is the basis for commentary about the eternal question of ‘What is Art?’

Rating (out of 5): ***½
(Untitled) sends up the pretensions of the art world, which seems an easy target, but while there are quite a few comical moments, director/writer Jonathan Parker (Bartleby) doesn't take the low road. [I like what Roger Ebert wrote: "It's easy to take cheap shots at conceptual art. '(Untitled)' doesn't do that. It takes expensive shots."] Character-driven, Parker's script (with Catherine Dinapoli) seems a slightly snarkier cousin to Jonathan Ames' HBO series Bored to Death, both New York-set and full of identifiable, flawed characters who are gently ribbed but not deeply mocked. In fact (Untitled) seems to take more delight in criticizing critics - portrayed here as rude and unfeeling - than in skewering artists.

Chicago – They came, we saw and in the end, who conquered? HollywoodChicago.com Senior Writer Patrick McDonald weighs in on the Top Ten of 2009. From the rich palette of choices, the challenge is always to winnow it down to ten.
This was a strong year, with many films in the “eleven spot” that would qualify easily for Top Ten consideration in any other year, including “An Education,” “Fantastic Mr. Fox,” “Inglourious Basterds,” “The Hurt Locker,” “Red Cliff,” “Precious” and “Capitalism: A Love Story.”
But as the old saying goes, opinions are like a certain hole, everybody has one. Here is Patrick McDonald’s journey into that deep void…
10. ‘Star Trek’
Logical Pair: Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine in ‘Star Trek’

I go to a lot of shows, and art markets and auctions, and it's just interesting noticing the people who are buying art and collecting art, and their mixed motivations. It just seemed like a nice comic setup to have these two brothers, bringing together these two contemporary artists. - Director Jonathan Parker (Bartleby, The Californians) returns with a film focused on the contemporary art and music scenes of New York City, and how artists maintain passion for a creation that may be more miss than hit. Inspired by his own experiences as a musician and art collector, (Untitled) stars Adam Goldberg as frustrated contemporary classical composer Adrian, whose shows are sparsely attended while his artist brother Josh (Eion Bailey) draws rave reviews for his gallery work. The bridge between them is Chelsea art gallerist Madeleine (Marley Shelton), who both supports Josh’s work and begins a love affair...

"What is art?" is one of those eternal questions that you have to be at a certain kind of party to discuss without feeling totally pretentious. Lots of people use the question to denigrate certain types of art -- the "my kid can paint that" school of snark. (Untitled), which opened Friday at Arbor, asks the question in a playful way, and the ensuing "discussion" of the film is more enjoyable than you might think.
See, now you're all turning away because I've made it sound like this is some upscale-y film that drones on about Art. No. Stay with me, here. (Untitled) is from the same filmmakers who brought us the curious adaptation of Bartleby starring Crispin Glover, back in 2001 -- co-writer/director Jonathan Parker and writer Catherine Dinapoli -- and their latest movie is slightly less strange and has more sly humor.

(Untitled) is a satire with its finger squarely on the pulse of the 21st century art world. It’s a film for anyone who’s stood in a modern art exhibit, stared at one of its installations and pondered the age old conundrum, the source of many a freshman lit essay: What makes this art? Director Jonathan Parker, who co-wrote the screenplay with Catherine Dinapoli, expands from that fundamental starting point to consider the types of people that might me driven to make such things and whether, in the end, to dismiss them is to be robbed of a defining component of the age. It’s a sharp movie, pitched at a tone located squarely between archness and sincerity. The combination of its twin settings of blindingly white galleries and garishly designed New York apartments, when blended with an all-around cacophonic feel, lends the picture a surrealistic edge. Starring Adam Goldberg and Marley Shelton, two...

We knew (Untitled) was going to be an unusual movie based on the title and the trailer but now there.s a clip from the movie to really prove it. From the background music to the strange artwork the characters create, the movie is certainly on the strange side and might not be for everyone. The film is directed by Jonathon Parker who also co-wrote the screenplay with Catherine Dinapoli. It features Adam Goldberg as Adrian Jacobs, a composer whose music is extremely unconventional. Adrian finds beauty within the sounds of paper crumpling and bucket kicking, but others find the medium difficult to accept, hence the very small turnouts at his performances. On the other hand, Adrian.s brother Josh (Eion Bailey) has hit it big as a successful painter adored by corporate clients willing to pay hefty fees for his work. Adrian gets his own taste of success when...
