Kelsey Grammer, Julia Stiles to Star in “The God Committee”

The medical thriller has tapped the talents of Kelsey Grammar and Julia Stiles. 

Grammar and Stiles join the previously cast Janeane Garofalo and Dan Hedaya.

The God Committee delves into the US organ transplant system. It is directed by Austin Stark from his own script. 

“The worldwide organ shortage continues to devastate families from all walks of life,” Stark said. “I feel honored to be working with such an incredible ensemble — anchored by Kelsey, Julia, Colman, Janeane and Dan — in my quest to humanize the transplant system and bring faces to the statistics.”

According to Deadline, the story moves between two timelines: In one, a donor heart is being flown to a New York hospital and a transplant committee has an hour to decide which patient deserves the life-saving organ. The other, which takes place six years later, explores the impact of that one decision.

The God Committee is currently shooting gin New York.
