Honeymoners


Jonathan Demme ("Rachel Getting Married") is poised to direct, while Robert De Niro and Bradley Cooper may team up for the long-gestating "Honeymoon with Harry" says Deadline.

Cooper would play a former womanizing booze-hound who changed his ways when he fell in love,with De Niro's daughter who tries to break them up. When she dies just before their wedding, the groom heads off to their honeymoon spot to drink himself to death and meets his almost father-in-law who has come to spread his daughter’s ashes.

Paul Haggis adapted the script from an unpublished novel by Bart Baker back in 2004 and the film has often been considered one of the best 'unmade' films of recent years.

The tone is said to mix strong comedy and drama ala James L. Brooks' Terms of Endearment
