Prairie Home Companion, The Movie
The Star-Tribune reports that Garrison Keillor is collaborating with Robert Altman on a movie version of A Prairie Home Companion, written by Keillor and starring, in addition to PHC radio-show cast members, Meryl Streep, Lily Tomlin, Lyle Lovett, and Tom Waits.
Keillor said Friday he is a big fan of Altman's. "He's a true American independent who's been amazingly productive over an eon of time, made his own way on his own terms in and outside of the big studios, done things the way he saw them, had his hits and misses and never broke stride."
Plus, Keillor said, "He's older than I am, and that's not true of so many people anymore."
