It's a pairing made in tomb raider heaven. Brendan Fraser, man of all those Mummy installments, will finally pair up on screen with his archeological predecessor, Harrison Ford. But if you were actually hoping to see them fight mummies and dig for treasure, well, that will have to wait for your fan fiction. According to industry magazine Production Weekly (via ComingSoon), they're pairing up for the medical drama "Crowley."
The drama is based on the true story of John and Aileen Crowley, whose two children suffered from a rare genetic disorder. Rather than watch their children die, the desperate parents contacted a researcher who was developing a potential cure. Ford will play the researcher, and Fraser will play the father, John Crowley.
Directed by Tom Vaughan ("What Happens in Vegas") and produced by Ford, it's based on Geeta Anand's book "The Cure" and her Wall Street Journal article, which describe the Crowley's creation of a biotechnology company created solely to cure their children's disease.
So, in a way, Ford and Fraser will be hunting for a kind of treasure -- it just won't be gold, carrying ancient curses, or buried in a tomb.
Will you follow Harrison Ford and Brendan Fraser into the hospital? Let us know what you think.
