Keaton Takes Over "Buttercup"

Actor Michael Keaton has become attached to direct the indie dramedy "Buttercup" says Variety.


The Alice O'Neil script follows an adult woman who is forced to assume responsibility for her elderly father after he is arrested for drunk driving again. In doing so, she learns to not only accept his faults, but finally trust the other men in her life.

Oscar winner Alan Arkin (Little Miss Sunshine) and Jennifer Aniston were previously attached to star but have bowed out.

Niki Caro and Sarah Polley have previously been attached as directors. Michael London, Brian Koppelman and David Levien will produce.

The pic marks Keaton's 2nd time in the big chair following 2008's "The Merry Gentleman". 

Keaton is going to shoot his role in the "Robocop" remake soon.
