Jeff Daniels to star in Aaron Sorkin’s pilot
March 22nd, 2011 - 8:48 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattLos Angeles, Mar 22 (THAINDIAN NEWS) A nightly cable news show is set to be joined by the renowned actor, Jeff Daniels. This may have generated the sort of interest it is presently attracting if not for the fact that there is some high-profile behind-the-scene twists to the entire drama. It is reliably gathered that Aaron Sorkin’s TV pilot has concluded talks with Mr. Jeff Daniels but this will become clearer in the next few days.
There are lots of recreations going on in the schemes of the very vibrant Sorkin. This is quite evident because it is reported that he had spend some time with celebrities such as Chris Mathews, Keith Olbermann etc in his effort to reveal the awesome drama that is being planned.
Even though the lead role of the project was written for someone in his 40’s, it is believed that if the negotiation with Jeff Daniels pulls through, he will be ideal for the role with slight adjustments in the script. This is because, Daniels is 56 years now and may not be easily shown as a 40 something year old. It is also on record that Daniels is yet to feature in any of the serial-lke shows, so this will likely be his very first if the project goes series.
