Dustin Hoffman And Ray Romano Move To 'Mooseport'
[Thursday, October 17th, 2002]Dustin Hoffman and Ray Romano are negotiating to star in "Mooseport," a political comedy that will shoot during Romano's TV hiatus next spring, reports Variety.
Hoffman is poised to play a former U.S. president whose plan to retire in a small East Coast town goes awry when he's implored by townsfolk to fill an empty mayor seat. His opposition is an unassuming hardware store owner (Romano). By the time the president realizes how popular his adversary is, it's too late to pull out.
Rod Lurie ("The Last Castle") will direct the Intermedia Films project from a script by Tom Schulman ("Dead Poet's Society"). It will cost less than $30 million to make.
