Leave it to JJ Abrams to find a good use for Harrison Ford’s increasing belligerence. The Bad Robot-produced comedy MORNING GLORY comes from NOTTING HILL director Roger Michell, and has rounded up a pretty great cast: Ford, Rachel McAdams, Diane Keaton, Patrick Wilson, Jeff Goldblum and Ty Burrell.
The story: When hard–working TV producer Becky Fuller (McAdams) is fired from a local news program, her career begins to look as bleak as her hapless love life. Stumbling into a job at “Daybreak” (the last–place national morning news show), Becky decides to revitalize the show by bringing on legendary TV anchor Mike Pomeroy (Ford). Unfortunately, Pomeroy refuses to cover morning show staples like celebrity gossip, weather, fashion and crafts – let alone work with his new co–host, Colleen Peck (Keaton), a former beauty queen and longtime morning show personality who is more than happy covering morning “news.” As Mike and Colleen clash, first behind the scenes and then on the air, Becky’s blossoming love affair with fellow producer, Adam Bennett (Wilson) begins to unravel – and soon Becky is struggling to save her relationship, her reputation, her job and ultimately, the show itself.
