The film, which is based on Atul Gawande's Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End, was set to star Ansari and Murray as well as Pineapple Express star Seth Rogan.

This was a passion project for the Parks and Rec actor with him set to write, act and direct the film as a potential awards contender.

Principal photography started less than a month ago with sources saying the film was only halfway through production by the time Searchlight stepped in to press pause.
