Kevin Costner is in talks to play the male equivalent of Mrs. Robinson in the comedy that advances the storyline of '60s movie The Graduate, according to Variety.

Jennifer Aniston is already set to play the young woman seduced by Costner's character. Shirley MacLaine will play her grandmother, the woman who inspired the character immortalized by Anne Bancroft.

Story concerns a young woman who puts her marriage plans on the shelf so she can return home to Pasadena and unravel family secrets. She has discovered that The Graduate was probably based on her family, her grandmother was Mrs. Robinson and she doesn't know her real father.

Ted Griffin wrote and will direct the as-yet-untitled movie. Shooting on the movie starts this summer.
