ER series regular Maura Tierney is in advanced talks to join Ray Romano and Gene Hackman in Mooseport for 20th Century Fox and director Donald Petrie. Production is scheduled to start in late April. The Intermedia-produced project penned by Tom Shulman centers on a former U.S. president (Hackman) who retires to a small Northeastern coastal town. There, he is implored by his new neighbors to fill a mayoral seat that has become vacant. To keep things honest, a local hardware store owner (Romano) runs against him, only to see the race turn into a full-scale battle. Tierney will star as the longtime girlfriend of Romano's character. Producing the project are Shulman and Intermedia's Basil Iwanyk. Executive producers are Moritz Borman and Doug Richardson, the latter of whom came up with the story line for the project. Tierney is repped by CAA and Anonymous Content. She most recently starred on the big screen in Scotland, Pa. and Insomnia. She can next be seen in Hating Her for Idiom Films.
