'Tragic Indifference' for Douglas
Michael Douglas will star in a film about a landmark court case against Ford.
Apr 24 2007
Michael Douglas is set to star in an 'Erin Brokovich'-esque courtroom drama entitled 'Tragic Indifference'.
The 'Basic Instinct' star will play Tab Turner, an attorney who took Ford to court on behalf of a single mother left paralyzed after an accident in one of their cars. Turner not only won a huge settlement for his client, but also forced the company to apologize at her bedside.
'This gives me the chance to play a different kind of character' Douglas told Variety. 'I played a lawyer once, in 'Fatal Attraction', and there wasn't much about the law in that picture.'
Steven Gerard (not that one) will adapt Adam Penenenberg's source novel, with production set to start soon.
