Howard Gets Real

Schmaltzmeister Ron Howard will be on megaphone duty for The Look Of Real. He hopes that daughter Bryce Dallas Howard (The Village) will take a part in the ensemble drama following the trials and tribulations of a group of young women in the garment industry. Sounds a bit like How To Make An American Quilt, but with Howard at the helm, it'll probably be a star-spangled bedspread.

The script is by Winnie Holzman who penned TV series like The Wonder Years and My So Called Life. Apparently she's already received notes from Howard and Grazer on her first draft and is now at work on a rewrite.
