Morgan Creek is wrapping up negotiations to finance "Man of the Year," a comedy that will re-team Robin Williams with director Barry Levinson ("Good Morning Vietnam", "Wag the Dog", "Men in Black") reports Variety.
Williams will play a Jon Stewart-like host of a latenight political talkshow who runs for president to make noise on the campaign trail. The stunt backfires after a series of unusual circumstances leads him to victory.
Levinson, who wrote the script, will begin production late in the fall with shooting Toronto, and exteriors in Maryland and DC.
Thanks to 'Grey'
