Dennis Quaid, Rachel Weisz and Thomas Haden Church are set to enter the lofty (and somewhat eccentric) world of academia for their latest film, Smart People. Quaid will star as a professor who becomes bitter and twisted after his wife’s death but learns to once again feel fluffy and warm inside after falling for a former student (we’re assuming Weisz rather than Church in this case).
The film will be directed by newcomer Noam Murro, with shooting scheduled to start on 6 November.
