Some MORNING GLORY for Roger Michell
Michell signs up for New York 'network' comedy from the writer of The Devil Wears Prada and 27 Dresses, the latter of which we have a new poster for!
Notting Hill, Venus) the man who we all thought would end up directing the next James Bond film has instead found himself behind the camera on a rather light New York based comedy. The film is titled Morning Glory and it's eyeing a March start date for Paramount.
Aline Brosh McKenna ("The Devil Wears Prada") is penning the screenplay, which centers on a struggling female news producer and the iconic, temperamental anchorman she recruits to revive a failing network morning show. Bad Robot's J.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk are producing. Sherryl Clark exec produces.Not quite Bond is it? Michell is a fine dramatic director though and his style never really fitted Bond that much, although having said that neither does Marc Foster's (Finding Neverland, Monster's Ball) who eventually got the gig. Speaking of McKenna, she also wrote the screenplay for the rather dire looking 27 Dresses which got a new poster today. It really doesn't deserve it's own post but I can slot it in here...
