Paramount Pictures has acquired worldwide rights to Escape Artists' The Weather Man. Gore Verbinski will direct Nicolas Cage in the drama, which is scheduled to start filming February 17 in Chicago. The project comes to Paramount from Columbia Pictures where Escape Artists has a first-look deal.
The film, said to be in the $20 million-$30 million range, was written by Steve Conrad and is described as being in the vein of About Schmidt and American Beauty.
It's about a divorced Chicago weatherman who is up for a new job on a network morning show in New York. As he is preparing to leave for the Big Apple, he must make peace with his ex-wife and kids.
