After just saying “yes” to cigarettes and knocking Billy D. Williams off of the Harvey Dent platform, Aaron Eckhart is continuing to make a name for himself. This time, as a widower whose book about grief turns him into a superstar in the drama Traveling. Newcomer Brandon Camp will direct the film that he penned with writing partner Mike Thompson, reports Variety.
When Eckhart’s book takes off, he becomes a charismatic self-help authority and falls for a woman he meets at one of his seminars. Of course, he must then face the loss that he has shoved aside to embrace his stardom. Scott Stuber and Mary Parent will producer the film for Universal.
Before delving into his grief, Eckhart will be seen at the side of Catherine Zeta-Jones in No Reservation and in the Alan Ball-directed Nothing is Private.
