Now that I got that joke out of the way, I can tell you that Michell is currently looking for actors to play Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, as well as FDR‘s sexy sixth cousin Daisy. Interestingly, the company funding the movie, Film4, declined to also fund The King’s Speech in order to avoid a conflict of interest. Also interesting is that Michell is NOT looking for actors to play the King and Queen which either means that they’re already cast (Colin Firth, perhaps?) or they aren’t major players in the movie.

Finally, a movie staring Harrison Ford that you’re supposed to laugh at (besides Six Days Seven Nights and Hollywood Homicide, which you were supposed to laugh at, but didn’t).

Morning Glory, produced by golden boy JJ Abrams and co-staring Rachel McAdams, Diane Keaton, Patrick Wilson, and Jeff Goldblum, seems like it might have some legitimate humor. The movie tells the story of a “hotshot television producer is set the challenge of reviving a struggling morning show program, despite the constant feuding of its high-profile anchors.” It comes across as part Network, part "Today Now", and part steaming pile of sh*t. That last part is probably due to the fact that the film shares a screenwriter with Th Devil Wears Prada and a director with Notting Hill. Even so, the trailer looks pretty good until the 2:00 mark, when Ford gets emotional and that Natasha Bedingfield song kicks in (I looked her up).

See the trailer for yourself after the jump.
