EXCLUSIVE: Michael Keaton’s “modern comedy” Goodrich is launching sales at the EFM for Black Bear International, we can reveal.
Fresh off Golden Globe, Emmy, Critics Choice and SAG wins for Hulu series Dopesick, Goodrich is set to return Oscar nominee Keaton to his more comedic roots.
Set in contemporary LA during the holidays, the film tells the story of art dealer Andy Goodrich (Keaton), a man whose life is upended when his younger second wife leaves him and enters a 90-day rehab program while also threatening divorce. Goodrich takes charge of their nine-year-old twins, thrusting him into the world of modern parenthood for which he is deeply unprepared. With his career falling by the wayside, he leans on his grown and pregnant daughter Grace for support, and ultimately evolves into the father Grace never had.
First revealed by Deadline as a potential studio proposition four years ago, Hallie Meyers-Shyer (Home Again) is still aboard as writer director but now Jason Cloth and Dave Caplan’s C2 Motion Picture Group (Babylon) is financing and will produce alongside Daniela Taplin Lundberg (The Kids Are All Right) of Stay Gold Features and Kevin Mann (Together, Together).
Amy Pascal (Spider-Man: No Way Home) will serve as executive producer alongside Keaton. CAA Media Finance and UTA Independent Film Group are repping domestic. Principal photography is due to commence in April in LA.
Meyers-Shyer said: “Goodrich is an homage to the films of the 70’s and 80’s that brilliantly melded comedy with drama, films directed by greats like Mike Nichols and James L. Brooks. I wrote this film for the incomparable Michael Keaton and I can’t wait for audiences to see Michael back in the genre where we all fell in love with him.”
