Fanning will play New York City teenager Ray, who is in the process of transitioning from female to male, while Watts plays her mother Maggie, who is struggling to deal with Ray's transition.
Sarandon plays Maggie's own mother Dolly, who lives with her lesbian partner Frances. Dolly is having trouble understanding both Ray's transition and Maggie's apparent inability to move out of her childhood home.
Three Generations will be produced by Peter Saraf, Marc Turtletaub and Dorothy Berwin. Watts, Leah Holzer, Daniele Melia and Peter Pastorelli will serve as executive producers.
Production on the film will begin in New York in early November.
Sarandon recently said that Hollywood is more concerned with looks than politics.
