Untitled Cop Drama

Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett are in talks to star in an untitled cop drama that Ron Shelton will start directing in the fall for Sony-based Revolution Studios. The Hollywood-set project centers on a pair of cops who become involved in a crime that revolves around the music business as seen through the eyes of Shelton, who previously put a unique spin on sports pics as the writer-director of "Bull Durham" and "Tin Cup." He sold the unnamed project as a pitch he has since written with writer Robert Souza. Ford has been looking for a project since completing the Kathryn Bigelow-directed submarine drama "K-19: The Widowmaker," in which he plays Capt. Alexi Vostrikov, commander of the nuclear missile. That drama will be released by Paramount July 19. The Shelton script is the one he's sweetest on, and a deal is likely to crystallize quickly. Hartnett is coming off a strong performance in the Ridley Scott-directed Revolution drama "Black Hawk Down."
