Harrison Ford in for "Morning Glory"
You know, that Harrison Ford really kicks ass, doesn’t he? And I don’t mean in an “Indiana Jones” kind of way - I mean when great actors continue to make movies as they get older. Not that he’s old or anything - he’s only 66, for cripes sakes - but I’m just really glad he’s still making movies, because he’s always been a favorite of mine.
Now he’s signed to play a TV personality in “Morning Glory,” a Paramount comedy that revolves around a morning talk show. Rachel McAdams is in final negotiations to star, as well.
Roger Michell (“Venus”) is attached to direct, with J.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk producing through their Bad Robot banner.
The script was penned by Aline Brosh McKenna, which bodes well because she also wrote the fabulous script for “The Devil Wears Prada,”, one of my favorite chick-flicks of all time.
More after the jump…
The story follows a grizzled old-school anchor (Ford), who quits in disgust because of the gossip-heavy direction of the evening newscast. He’s then recruited by an up-and-coming producer (McAdams) to help revive a morning talk show, only to be paired with his rival.
The other thing I love about this is that Harrison Ford really hasn’t done a comedy in a while, so it’ll be fun seeing him return to that genre.
