Movie of my life ruined

I had planned to write an after school special about my life. It was going to be awesome. I had the cast all lined up. My mom was going to be played by Sally Field and my brother by River Phoenix. Long story short, Ron Silver was going to play my friend Bruce. Nothing ever goes as planned. Ron Silver had to throw a wrench in the works and up and die. Now I have to rewrite everything so that it can be a comedy. My mom will be played by Bea Arthur. My brother by Larry Miller and my friend Bruce by Jon Lovitz. Being an executive producer is tough.
