Ford Playing Scientist in 'Crowley'

(FROM VARIETY) – Harrison Ford is starring in CBS Films' drama Crowley, which tells the true story of John and Aileen Crowley. Two of the couple's children had a rare genetic disorder, but John Crowley found a researcher (Ford) with a potential cure. Robert Nelson Jacobs (The Water Horse, Chocolat) wrote the screenplay, which was inspired by a Wall Street Journal article and subsequent book, The Cure, by Geeta Anand. Tom Vaughan (What Happens in Vegas) is in negotiations to direct the feature, and shooting is expected to start soon, which would make Crowley the first project to go into production at the new CBS Films. Ford next stars opposite Sean Penn in Crossing Over. (Hollywood Reporter)
