Tommy Lee Jones Joining Meryl Streep in ‘Great Hope Springs’

Tommy Lee Jones is joining Meryl Streep and Steve Carell in he upcoming movie Great Hope Springs.

Tommy Lee Jones will star alongside Meryl Streep and Steve Carell in Great Hope Springs, the Mandate comedy being directed by David Frankel.

The project, written by Vanessa Taylor, centers on a middle-aged couple (Streep and Jones)  who after 30 years of marriage attend an intense counseling weekend to examine the marriage and sex issues that are threatening their marriage. Carell plays the famed relationship guru who tries to help the couple out once they arrive in the town of Great Hope Springs.

This movie sounds like it has the potential to be really funny, all three have comedy chops. I’m looking forward seeing how this one turns out, I see a lot of laughs coming from these actors. Meryl Streep is always good, she’s one of the most consistently good actors out there. Expect Great Hope Springs in theaters late next year.

Tommy Lee Jones Drops ‘Lawyer’

Tommy Lee Jones

Tommy Lee Jones has decided not to direct or star in The Lincoln Lawyer after all.

Tommy Lee Jones has bowed out of “The Lincoln Lawyer.”

Jones had been set to direct and co-star with Matthew McConaughey in Lakeshore Entertainment’s adaptation of the Michael Connelly novel. But Jones has left the project over creative differences on the script.

Must have been pretty hard conflicts, that’s unfortunate for Tommy Lee Jones. Sometimes creative differences cripple projects, even during production. Hopefully he’ll get something else lined up quick as director.

‘Men in Black’ Coming Back With ‘Tropic Thunder’ Writer

Men in Black 3 was announced back in April, but now it’s moving forward with Etan Cohen, writer of Tropic Thunder penning the script.

There’s no word yet on Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones’ involvement, but I can’t imagine they would bring the franchise back without featuring them in some capacity.

Tropic Thunder was funny, but Men in Black 2 was so incredibly bad I have a hard time even caring that another one is coming. Perhaps Cohen will put something together that’s fresh, it’s a universe that can easily be tapped for some great stories, it’s just a matter of actually telling one.

Tommy Lee Jones and Kevin Costner Join Ben Affleck in ‘Company Men’

Tommy Lee Jones and Kevin Costner have both signed on to join Ben Affleck in the upcoming film Company Men.

Affleck plays a corporate hotshot whose Porsche and six-figure salary vanish after he gets laid off. Costner plays his brother-in-law, a salt-of-the-earth drywall installer who gives him a construction job.

Jones plays a senior partner in the firm, a principled man who struggles with the greedy actions of his partners.

Haven’t seen Tommy Lee Jones in a while, but unfortunately this sounds like a pretty general story, where’s the hook?
