Emerging a decade ago from the Sony factory, the control of"Role of a Lifetime" is about to be handed over to Disney.

As a result of the filmˇs long history, many changes have been made to the original Allison Burnett script, and the lead male role has yet to be filled.

However, according to the story so far, a Hepburn/Tracy-like chemistry develops when a British theater director brings his Shakespearean production to Broadway, and investors push him into choosing a movie star for the lead role.

Ryan's recent acting credits include"Against the Ropes,""In the Cut" and"Kate& Leopold," none of which made much of a dent on the box office.
