From the IMDB message boards:Michelle Pfeiffer and Kevin Kline are the latest stars to come aboard
director Robert Altman's movie version of "A Prairie Home Companion."
Altman dropped those names during a recent interview with Chicago
public radio station WBEZ."I'm literally doing a film of one of [Garrison Keillor's] radio
broadcasts, only I'm filling it with a lot of movie stars," Altman
said.He previously announced that Meryl Streep and Lily Tomlin would play
the Johnson Sisters, the two remaining members of a failed singing
act. Other cast members he named include Lyle Lovett, Tom Waits, Maya
Rudolph from "Saturday Night Live" and, of course, Keillor himself."He'll be in it prominently, because he's a genius," said Altman.
Keillor also wrote the screenplay for the film.It is expected to shoot at the Fitzgerald Theatre in St. Paul sometime this winter
