Gwyneth Paltrow has joined recent Golden Globe-winner Annette Bening in "Running With Scissors" at Sony's TriStar Pictures reports Production Weekly & Coming Soon. Shooting is scheduled to begin March 7th in Los Angeles. An adaptation of Augusten Burroughs' bestselling memoir, "Scissors" is the true story of a boy whose mother (a poet with delusions of Anne Sexton) gave him away to be raised by her psychiatrist, a dead-ringer for Santa and a lunatic in the bargain. Suddenly, at age twelve, Augusten Burroughs found himself living in a dilapidated Victorian in perfect squalor. The doctor's bizarre family, a few patients, and a pedophile living in the backyard shed completed the tableau. Here, there were no rules, there was no school. The Christmas tree stayed up until summer, and Valium was eaten like Pez. And when things got dull, there was always the vintage electroshock therapy machine under the stairs. "Nip/Tuck" creator Ryan Murphy wrote the script and will make his feature directorial debut. Thanks to 'Gems'.
