“Love and Other Drugs” and “The Last Samurai” helmer Ed Zwick has announced plans for “The Making Of,” a new romantic comedy feature currently being sold around ahead of the Toronto Film Festival.
The story revolves around two couples: long-married filmmakers (Richard Gere and Diane Keaton) who have cast two overly emotional actors (Blake Lively and Lin-Manuel Miranda) to portray their younger selves in the story of their love.
Unfortunately, by the time shooting begins their fabled marriage is unraveling. The filmmakers want to make a hit, the actors want to tell the true story. Whose version is the truth? How do they distinguish between real love and movie love when their lives and their work are so hopelessly intertwined?
Gere and Keaton previously worked together in 1977 on “Looking for Mr. Goodbar”. Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz have penned and will produce the project through their The Bedford Falls Company label. Filming kicks off in the Spring.
