Cate Blanchett will star in and executive produce the telemovie “Cancer Vixen”, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

HBO is developing the project, basing it on the Marisa Acocella Marchetto memoir ‘Cancer Vixen: A True Story’.

The book revolves around a cartoonist in the city plotting her wedding who is diagnosed with breast cancer and tells Marchetto’s story of her 11-month battle with breast cancer and every step in between.

Blanchett is currently filming “Monuments Men” with George Clooney and Matt Damon.
