Tommy Lee Jones 'Cheers Up'
[Thursday, July 18th, 2002]Oscar-winning actor Tommy Lee Jones has come aboard to develop and star in the action comedy "Cheer Up," reports The Hollywood Reporter.
"Cheer" revolves around a group of dysfunctional cheerleaders from Eastern Connecticut College who witness a murder following one of their competitions. An aging, hardened veteran FBI agent (Jones) is assigned to the case and must learn to coexist with the rambunctious girls while avoiding the gunmen determined to knock them off before the group can testify.
The project is out to a writer-director who will now tailor the project toward Jones and his comedic skills, showcased most recently in "Men in Black II."
