It will be the first time that Keaton, 63, the Oscar-winning star of 'Annie Hall' and 'The Godfather' films, has appeared alongside veteran 'Indiana Jones' and 'Star Wars' icon Ford.

The film, titled 'Morning Glory,' will also star Rachel McAdams as the news producer charged with getting control of Keaton and Ford's characters while Jeff Goldblum will play the show's boss.

The film is to be directed by 'Notting Hill' and 'Venus' film-maker Roger Michell, Variety reported, with shooting to begin in New York next month.

Keaton, who co-starred with McAdams in drama 'The Family Stone,' most recently appeared in bank robbery comedy 'Mad Money.' -- AFP
