Harrison Ford swaps bullwhip for microscope in 'Crowley'
2008-06-09
Harrison Ford will play a scientist racing to find a cure for two children suffering from a rare genetic disorder in his next film, it was reported on Monday. Ford, the 65-year-old star of this year's money-spinning fourth "Indiana Jones" film, will swap his bullwhip and fedora for a microscope for his role in "Crowley," which is based on a true story, Daily Variety reported. The film tells the story of John and Aileen Crowley, who overcame huge odds to help find a cure for Pompe disease, a rare condition that the couple's two youngest children had been diagnosed with. Ford, who will also work as an executive producer on the film, plays a researcher with a potential cure for the disorder. The movie is based on a book by Wall Street Journal reporter Geeta Anand, "The Cure," which documented the Crowley's case. Ford's next film will be opposite Sean Penn in immigration drama "Crossing Over."
