Despite being some of the most seasoned actors in Hollywood, Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton have yet to appear on screen together — that is, until now. In a new film, planning to be shopped around at the AFM, the duo would team up for director My Best Friend’s Wedding, P.J. Hogan.
Titled And So It Goes, the project comes from a script by Mark Andrus (As Good As It Gets) and will follow Douglas as a “self-centered and eccentric realtor” whose life gets a major shift when his distant son brings a granddaughter home. And, you guessed it, Keaton pops in as a bubbly neighbor who helps him through the process and perhaps some romance sparks.
It sounds like a recipe for a perfectly pleasant adult drama, not unlike what Hogan is used to delivering. Producer Alan Greisman said as much, adding, “There’s a large demographic and need for these kind of films as evidenced by box office successes such as The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, It’s Complicated and Bucket List. Diane and Michael are Hollywood legends who will shine in this hilarious and heartfelt story.”
Production begins next spring.
