The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Molly Gordon will hop back into the director’s chair to helm a reimagining of Outrageous Fortune, based on the 1987 film of the same name, which starred Bette Midler and Shelly Long.
Gordon is co-writing the screenplay with Allie Levitan and will center on “rival actors who clash on a scrappy indie film set and accidentally find themselves entangled in a game of cat-and-mouse more outrageous than any movie.” Searchlight Pictures will distribute the movie.
Gordon has been on quite the streak lately, fresh off of co-directing Theater Camp with Nick Lieberman while also co-writing and starring in the project. She also starred in season two of The Bear, which recently got renewed for two more seasons on FX. No release date has currently been announced for Outrageous Fortune, but it looks to be right up her alley after the incredible success of Theater Camp. In the meantime, stay tuned for Awards Radar’s interview with Gordon on her work in The Bear coming soon!
