Robert Altman is at work on a film version of Garrison Keillor’s long-running radio series “The Prairie Home Companion.” The film will star Altman regulars Tom Waits, Lyle Lovett, Lily Tomlin, and possibly even George Clooney; Keillor will appear as the narrator.
I’m not entirely certain how PHC could work in film format, but if anyone can pull it off, it’s Altman, a man who’s made a career of adapting works previously thought unadaptable.
There aren't a lot of writers/performers who create an atmosphere as effectively as Keillor...there aren't a lot of filmmakers who do the same like Altman. What an interesting idea....
