From Production Weekly comes word that Brendan Fraser will play the titular role in Crowley, an upcoming drama being led by Harrison Ford.

The film is based on the true story of John and Aileen Crowley, whose two children had a rare genetic disorder. Crowley, instead of giving up hope that his children could not be cured, found a researcher (played by Ford) with a potential cure.

It is inspired by Geeta Anands book The Cure. The film is being executive produced by Harrison Ford and will begin shooting this April in Portland.
