Good For Saint Paul?
Stars aligning for a 'Prairie Home' movie:
Stargazers, get out your binoculars and your autograph books. This summer, the most high-wattage star power ever to convene in Minnesota for a single film will alight in St. Paul.
Legendary director Robert Altman will direct the film version of Garrison Keillor's "A Prairie Home Companion" at the Fitzgerald Theater in July, his production company confirmed Sunday. The big-name cast includes Meryl Streep, Lindsay Lohan, Woody Harrelson, Lily Tomlin and John C. Reilly, with more big names coming.
"As a longtime Keillor fan, I'm thrilled to be doing this project with him," Altman said Sunday. "I can't wait to begin."
Garrison Keillor wrote the as yet untitled movie's script, a comic fable about an iconic radio show that is suddenly canceled after 30 years on the air.
Rumor has it that an specially designed annex will be built to the Fitzgerald Theater before filming begins to house Keillor's ever expanding ego.
