Sneak Peak at
"Extraordinary Measures"
Extraordinary
Measures is inspired by the true story of John Crowley, a
man who defied conventional wisdom and great odds, and risked his
family’s future to pursue a cure for his children’s life threatening
disease.
From his working class roots, John Crowley
has finally begun to taste success in corporate America. Supported by
his beautiful wife Aileen (Keri Russell) and their three children, John
is on the fast track. But just as his career is taking off, Crowley
walks away from it all when his two youngest children, Megan and
Patrick, are diagnosed with a fatal disease.
With Aileen by his side, harnessing all of
his skill and determination, Crowley teams up with a brilliant, but
unappreciated and unconventional scientist, Dr. Robert
Stonehill.
Together they form a bio-tech company
focused on developing a life-saving drug. One driven to prove himself
and his theories, the other by a chance to save his children, this
unlikely alliance eventually develops into mutual respect as they
battle the medical and business establishments in a fight against the
system – and time.
The question is... do we really want to see
Fraser and an ever ageing Harrison Ford on screen together?
