Variety reports the film will be directed by Richard Loncraine from a script by Charlie Peters. It has started filming in Baltimore.
The film is based on a childhood adventure of actor George Hamilton. It is set in the 1950s and follows the glamorous Anne Deveraux (Zellweger) as she drives down the Eastern seaboard from city to city in search for a wealthy man to give her a new life for her and her sons.
The plot is based on a story Hamilton told Merv Griffin about his younger days traveling with his mother and brother.
Bacon has signed for the role of a philandering band leader that Anne attempts to leave.
Hamilton will work as an executive producer on the film with Ron Ward, Rob Pritchard, Dan Fireman and Robert Kosberg. Artfire is set to handle the financing of the film and worldwide sales will be handled through Essential Entertainment.
