Announced by Amy Baer, President and Chief Executive Officer of the film division within CBS Corp The project, which starts principal photography on April 6th, will be the first film to go into production for CBS Films.
Russell plays Aileen Crowley, a wife and mother who relentlessly builds a normal, loving home life for her children while her husband, John Crowley (Fraser), and an unconventional scientist (Ford) race against time to build a company that could rescue them. The film is inspired by a true story.
Robert Nelson Jacobs wrote the screenplay, which was inspired by a Wall Street Journal article and subsequent book, "The Cure," by award-winning writer Geeta Anand.
"At the heart of this story is an exemplary mother in Aileen Crowley. It was important that we find an actress who could portray incredible maternal sensitivity combined with the steadfastness of a woman on a mission. Keri has the talent to depict both with striking balance." Baer said.

I have been smitten with Russell since her days as TV's "Felicity" and then I saw her turns in Waitress and The Upside of Anger-proving she was also a great fit on the big screen as well....I can't wait for this to hit theaters. Great cast.
