Robin Williams Finds Old Dogs

Hot on the heels of Wild Hogs, John Travolta signed up for another comedy with director Walt Becker called Old Dogs, which if nothing else is good news for Dr Seuss and fans of rhyming. But Travolta's not alone - his missus, Kelly Preston, and former comedy legend Robin Williams have signed up to be old dogs with him.

The story apparently centres on best friends and business partners (we don't feel we're going out on too thin a limb when we identify these as Williams and Travolta) whose lives are turned upside down when they find themselves in charge of 7 year-old twins.

Since Ella Travolta, daughter of John and Kelly, has also been cast, it's not impossible that they've pulled a Pursuit of Happyness and cast the star's kid in a leading role - heck, she might even do a Lohan and get drunk and flash her...wait, we mean, play both of the twins.

Shooting's due to start in July, from a script by Davids Diamond and Weissman (The Family Man, Evolution). And with Wild Hogs currently roaring past the $200 million mark worldwide, expect this to be much in the same vein.
