Ford and Fraser pair on medical drama
Untitled picture will be CBS Films first feature production
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Indiana Jones and "The Mummy" slayer are teaming up on the big screen — to battle not ancient, otherworldly baddies, but a big medical dilemma. Brendan Fraser will join Harrison Ford for a medical drama set to begin filming in April, CBS Films announced Wednesday. The untitled movie will be the first production for CBS Films, a feature film division established in 2007. Fraser will play a father who recruits the help of a medical researcher portrayed by Ford. CBS Films said the film's screenplay is inspired by "The Cure," a book by Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Geeta Anand about John F. Crowley, a former Bristol Myers Squibb executive who started his own biotech company to save his two children from a rare muscular disorder. Copyright (2008) Associated Press. All rights reserved.

I'm sure this film won't be any worse than that ridiculous "Benjamin Button" that most of you are stroking yourselves over. This is really some great movie website...the film hasn't even been made yet. I guess The Weenster has brought over some of the hate from Aintitcool.com
