Mike White, son of evangelical ghost writer turned gay activist Mel White — and writer/co-star of several movies including The School of Rock, The Good Girl and the upcoming Nacho Libre — is about to make his directorial debut, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Year of the Dog will star Saturday Night Live alumnus Molly Shannon as Peggy, “a happy-go-lucky secretary who lives alone with her beloved dog Pencil. But when Pencil unexpectedly dies, Peggy embarks on a journey of transformation. The project, which is expected to attract a number of A-list comedians in cameo roles, has no scheduled start date yet.” Shannon and White previously collaborated on the TV series Cracking Up.
