Frankie Valli is heading to the big screen - but not in the anticipated film adaptation of JERSEY BOYS.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Valli has signed on to co-star alongside Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton in Reiner's upcoming comedy AND SO IT GOES. The film is being penned by Mark Andrus (AS GOOD AS IT GETS.)
AND SO IT GOES "centers on a self-centered and eccentric realtor (Douglas) whose life is turned upside down when his estranged son suddenly drops off a granddaughter he never knew. With the help of his determined and loveable neighbor (Keaton), he stubbornly learns to care and, unexpectedly, to fall in love again."
Valli will take on the role of a local club owner, according to the report.
