Cameron Crowe is prepping up to shoot his next feature film for Sony Pictures. He's looking to cast Rachel McAdams alongside Emma Stone and Bradley Cooper.
The movie still has no title, and there's not much known about the story, but it's a romantic comedy that's been compared to Almost Famous and Jerry Maguire. McAdams will play a former lover of Cooper’s character. The two previously played a couple in Wedding Crashers.
It's been previously speculated that the movie could be Deep Tiki, the supernatural romantic comedy that Crowe was developing before making We Bought A Zoo. Crowe wrote the script and will direct the film beginning this October.
If it is Deep Tiki, the story centers on a disgraced military weapons consultant who is deployed to a dormant base in Hawaii to supervise the launch of a spy satellite. While there he discovers himself and thinks about the relationships he left behind. The story is set against the backdrop of mythical island lore and Cold War-esque diplomacy. It even involved visions of Hawaiian Gods and a volcano sacrifice.
I've enjoyed most of Crowe's films, and whatever story this movie ends up telling, I'm sure it will be a good one.
