Oscar-nominee Virginia Madsen (Sideways) and SNL‘s Kenan Thompson are in the midst of negotiations to join director Rob Reiner’s (When Harry Met Sally) drama Summer at Dog Dave’s. Already starring Morgan Freeman, the film tells the story of a disabled author (Freeman) whose love of the sauce is reducing his creative output. According to Variety, Madsen would make a turn as Freeman’s new neighbor, a single-mother of three who befriends the author and inspires him to, well you can probably guess the outcome (hint: he starts writing again). As for Thompson, the report claims he is in talks to take on the role of Freeman’s “helpful nephew.” Apparently not helpful enough to help him overcome alcoholism, but helpful nonetheless. Production on Summer at Dog Dave’s is set to begin in New York this July with the film aiming for a 2012 release.

so, something like finding forrester.
or scent of a woman for that matter, i mean, old dude transforms into a better man thanks to the help of a young fella.
I’m totally freaking out. I met Mr. Reiner, took a pic with him and got his autograph. Also met Morgan Freeman’s (stunt double) who looks EXACTLY like him its even more freaky but not the cast just yet. I intend to soon. But who knew this kinda thing would happen in MY town?! They’re literally filming this movie right outside my front door!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!! **Taking deep breaths** OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!
Morgan Freeman plays as a kind of paraplegic, recovering alcoholic, writer who’s lost his will to write. I guess Kenan Thompson plays as his nephew who tries to help Morgan get back into it. So its a comic/drama flick.
