BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Sept. 9 (UPI) -- Principal photography is set to begin Monday in Colorado on the feature film Our Souls at Night, starring Robert Redford and Jane Fonda.

Ritesh Batra is shooting their next picture, which is to premiere via the online streaming service in 2017.

"I'm looking forward to teaming up with Jane and working with the talented Ritesh Batra. Our Souls at Night is an endearing story and I'm happy we get to share it with a broader audience," said Redford in a statement Friday.

The ensemble will also include Bruce Dern, Judy Greer, Matthias Schoenaerts and Iain Armitage.

"Based on the novel written by Kent Haruf and adapted for the screen by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, Our Souls at Night is set in Colorado and begins when Addie Moore pays an unexpected visit to a neighbor, Louis Waters," a Netflix summary said. "Her husband died years ago, as did his wife, and in such a small town they'd been neighbors for decades, but had little contact. Their children live far away and they are all alone in their big houses. She seeks to establish a connection, and make the most of the rest of the time they have."
