'The Founder' with Michael Keaton Gets Awards Release in Fall 2016

Written by

Briefly: Even though Michael Keaton didn’t win an Oscar for his performance in Birdman, it sounds like The Weinstein Company thinks he’s got another chance with his next project The Founder. Keaton is playing Ray Kroc, the salesman from Illinois who picked up a burger operation in 1950s Southern California and turned it into McDonald’s, which would become a multi-billion dollar fast-food chain in the world. The Blind Side director John Lee Hancock will be at the helm of the film with a script from Big Fan scribe Robert Siegel, and now THR reports the film has been set for a pretty prime awards season release on November 25th, 2016. We’ll certainly be looking forward to seeing this one late next year. Stay tuned. ›››
